Give Thanks - Geoff Bohleen

Let’s make a mental list of all the things we are grateful for and all the things we are ungrateful for. There are two ways to measure the list—by length and by weight. Some people are wired for positive thinking and their grateful list is longer; some people are wired for worry and the ungrateful list is longer. But when it comes to weight, the Christian’s grateful list is always heaviest because God, salvation, blessing, providence, protection, promise and all of God’s “good and perfect gifts” (James 1:17) out weigh everything else in life. That’s how we can and should “Give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.”
