Thankfulness

Hey friends.I want to suggest some new ways to look at thankfulness.
  If you have food in the refrigerator,clothes on your back,a roof over your head and a place to sleep,you are richer than 75 percent of this world.
    If you have any money in the the bank,in your wallet,and spare change in a dish some place,you are among the top 8 percent of the worlds wealthy.
    If you woke up this morning with more health than illness,you are more blessed than the million that will not survive this week.
    If you have never experienced the dangers of battle,the loneliness of imprisonment,the agony of torture,or the pains of starvation,you are ahead of 500 million people in the world.

    It is easy to be thankful when things are going our way,but what about when they are not ? A Christian can rise above any situation if they will -- even the ones mentioned above -- to thank God for causing all things to work together for good.

    The apostle Paul,was a man who suffered much pain,yet he wrote, "Be joyful always;pray continually;give thanks in all circumstances,for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus" ( 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18). Paul's thankfulness was not conditioned on any circumstance. he gave great praise to God because of His wonderful attributes,works,and words
Paul knew that all eternity would not be enough time to thank God for His tender mercies. We should all follow Paul's example of thankfulness today.
   Friends ,I know it isnt easy sometimes and you may be going through some tough things, but trust me,if we will thank God for all He does and is doing for us ,I know He will bless us even more. Just look around ,theres always someone in worse shape than we are.

     Be Thankful today to our wonderful and merciful God.

                                                                            God Bless you all,I love you, Jerry
