"...in everything give thanks; for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus."
-1 Thessalonians 5:18
It is God's will that we are to give thanks. And not just to simply give thanks, but to give thanks IN EVERYTHING.
I know that we all face tough circumstances on a daily basis. There are things that some people are dealing with right now that are unimaginable. But despite what you and I are going through, we all can find something to be thankful for. Look around you. It may be for something big or something small. It might be for something practical or extraordinary. You can even thank God for the trial you are going through, knowing that He can bring good out of it.
So here is the challenge. I am challenging you to not only think about something you are thankful for, but actually write it down, where you can visually see it. Comment here, post it on Facebook or Twitter, write it in a journal... just write what you are thankful for. There is power in a grateful heart. It can change your attitude, your perspective, and even your circumstances. It also can have a great impact on those around you.
Too often, we do not verbalize those things we are thankful for. So here's your chance...
What are you thankful for?
