Gifts

Thank you. How many times per day do you say Thank you? I don't know if I have ever actually stopped to count or even think about it. However, it seems, at least to me there is so much to be thankful for. And then it occurs to me that we can be and are a cynical bunch, us humans.

Has this ever played out for you? It's a Monday morning and you are dragging into work and someone pops up with a way too cheerful "HOW YOU DOING!?" Ugh, just kind of want to punch them in the throat don't ya? You grunt a half-hearted "ugh!" at them and then mainline some coffee to start the day.

Seems kind of hard to find stuff to be grateful for. But if we really open our eyes and look around...

Thanks be to God for His indescribable gift!" -2nd Corinthians 9:15

If we stop and just look around we have so much to be grateful for. A home to protect us from the elements. Cloths to keep us warm and protected. Cars to carry us to and from a JOB that provides income and food on every store shelf. I mean when was the last time you had to go out and hunt for your dinner? I know I have been blessed in this life way beyond what I deserve.

And I ascribe all of these gifts to God. I know that they all come from Him and I only have the life I do by his grace.

So when life seems to be dragging you down. Look around and then give thanks.

thanks be to God for HIS indescribable gift!" -2nd Corinthians 9:15.

When you do this it becomes easier to...

Press on. Fight the good fight. As a Soldier for Christ.
