Ephesians 5:20
"Always giving thanks to God the Father for everything in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ".
Happy thanksgiving everyone
May we be filled with gratitude above all for what Jesus had sacrificed on the cross for our sins. God says be thankful for everything to me this means in good times and bad times. I should be grateful that God gives me the opportunity to learn from a challenging situation whether it's at work or in my relationships with others because as a Christian I can learn some thing good out of a challenging situation. I don't need to run away from it because God can work everything for the good Romans 8:28. Sometimes I would still fear a difficult situation or conflict will come my way but when I am grateful that God can work out the good in any situation I face whether good or bad then I can have a 'perfect peace' in my heart and be grateful that God still hold my hand in good and bad times and give me the strength to overcome a tough time. As Christians life is not easy but if we grateful always and train ourselves to be grateful and joyful then I think we can get strength from God to endure (bear with hard time with more patience).
I get to see my own family in week's time. See my young brother getting married on the 3rd of December. My dad has decided to take off the weekend of the 3rd to spend time with me even though he has to try and sell property to make his money on the weekend. I am grateful to have a wonderful daddy. He has made such a impact in my life.
It's good for us to tell our loved ones how muh they mean to us and how grateful we are to have them in our lives. But above all I think we need to show the 'attitude' of gratitude and not just use words to tell others.
Have a blessed day in the Lord and be thankful!
Love, Shelley-bean
