Thank You

We say thank you when we receive something. But are we really thankful? Some of us just say it because we want to be respectful. What does it mean to be thankful? When we are thankful, we are happy with what God has blessed us with. Everything we have comes from God, our wealth,our downfalls, and our lives. Even when things are bad and not going the way we want them to, we need to be thankful for what God is doing and trust Him. Bad and good, happy times and sad times, hard times and easy time, we need to stop and take the time to thank God, weather it’s 5 in the morning or at 12 at night. Without God’s blessings we wouldn’t have anything, not even life. We also need to be thankful because we are so fortunate. We complain about having to walk around on vacation, some people don’t never get a vacation. Or ugly clothes, some people would be happy to get a pair of socks. All these things things we take for granted which we should be thankful for. God has blessed us! We need to remember that and live thankful and humble lives. If we aren’t thankful we become proud and selfish. Being thankful keeps us humble and thats what God wants. Be thankful!
