Ephesians 5:20 always giving thanks for all things in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ to God, even the Father; 21 and be subject to one another in the fear of Christ..You remember growing up as a kid and having the someone prepare dinner for you, and when you sat down to eat, what they placed in front of you being that ONE thing you hated the most. Whether it was brussel sprouts, liver or chitterlings you could almost feel your body going into convulsions of vomiting, and I still remembering hearing " you better be thankful that we at least had that......." and really not feeling very thankful.
As you look at the picture of the dirty hard working hands, can you also look at the hard dirty situation you may be in the midst of and still GIVE THANKS to GOD? I don't know if you are about to lose your home, or your health is failing, or your marriage is about over, your job is letting people go, or you feel like you are about to lose your mind, but today's scripture says.."ALWAYS giving thanks.........." is that you? ALWAYS giving thanks...or are you more so ALWAYS complaining? Look, I know life is hard, and unfair...had it not been either one of these CHRIST would've have died on The Cross for us. So tell self to step aside.....and really look around you, see if you can muster up a THANKS TO GOD for even have a job to lose (knowing HE has a plan for you)....or THAT while you may be wrestling with (whatever health issues you plug in) that it's not worse...cause no matter what IT CAN BE WORSE (see JOSEPH or JOB)!

TODAY tell me, share with others what you are thankful for that may cause them to say " Really, you are thankful for even THAT?" Watch what GOD does with that conversation...........GOD BLESS & LGLP
