Thanksgiving

maybe it would be a good thing to think about thanking everyone you meet who serves you in any kind of capacity, whether or not you think they are worthy of it. Gratitude is a powerful thing. It does you and the person you are thanking a world of good.

Someone didn't move fast enough in the computer store for me today. What's more the guy who took my wife's laptop to transfer its files into a new computer told us it would be ready yesterday, and now this new person is saying tomorrow. That's three days off the mark. Her work cannot afford that kind of down time. Do I jump all over this woman who wasn't responsible for the promise made, or do I thank her for doing her best to help me now?

"Always giving thanks to God the Father for everything, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ." (Ephesians 5:20)

And if you can't find something to thank someone for, thank that person for being alive. See that person in light of Christ, and what God has done for all of us through him. You can't get too mad when you are being thankful. - John Fischer
