BEEN THANKFUL?

. . . give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you (I Thessalonians 5:18).

I was on my way to an early morning meeting, listening to Christian music on Sirius satellite radio.  I do not remember what song had just played, but I do remember the comment by the radio host.  He said, "What if the only things you will have tomorrow are the things you gave thanks for today?  What would you have?"

It is a question worth pondering.  We go through life just assuming that the things we enjoy will always be there and then the day comes and they are not.  What will you do then?  Perhaps we need difficult times to remind us of the One who is the Source of all good things.

God supplies good things for both good and bad people.  One of the differences between those who belong to Christ and those who do not is that they are thankful people.  What about you?  Have you given thanks today?

Our Father's Love,
Tom
