Thanking God!

GIVE THANKS WHATEVER HAPPENS! 1 Thessalonians 5.18

Thank God in all circumstances, the good times and the not-so-great ones.

Don't forget to say thanks! 
The secret of happy people

When you thank God, even through pain, amazing things happen in your heart. Somehow you find he grace and courage to be glad that God is still God - when life is good, and when it isn't.



For the wife who says it's hot dogs tonight, because she is home with me,
and not out with someone else.
For the husband who is on the sofa being a couch potato, because he is home with me and not out at the bars.
For the teenager who is complaining about doing dishes because it means she is at home, not on the streets.
For the taxes I pay because it means I am employed.
For the mess to clean after a party because it means I have been surrounded
by friends.
For the clothes that fit a little too snug because it means I have enough to eat.
For my shadow that watches me work because it means I am out in the sunshine.
For a lawn that needs mowing, windows that need cleaning, and gutters that
need fixing because it means I have a home.
For all the complaining I hear about the government because it means we 
have freedom of speech.
For the parking spot I find at the far end of the parking lot because it means I am capable of walking and I have been blessed with transportation.
For my huge heating bill because it means I am warm.
For the lady behind me in church who sings off key because it means I can
hear.
For the pile of laundry and ironing because it means I have clothes to wear.
For weariness and aching muscles at the end of the day because it means I
have been capable of working hard.
For the alarm that goes off in the early morning hours because it means I am alive.
