1 Thessalonians 5:16-18

Be joyful always; pray continually; give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus.

Philippians 2:14 - Do everything without arguing or complaining.

• Instead of complaining about the weather... be thankful that its raining.

• Instead of complaining about the heat... be thankful for the sun.
• Instead of compaining about sickness... be thankful for doctors.
• Instead of complaining your clothes don't fit... be thankful you are clothed.
• Instead of complaining about your gray hair... be thankful you have hair at all.
• Instead of complaining about a sunburn... be thankful for aloe.
• Instead of complaining about the weeds... be thankful you have a yard for weeds to live in.
• Instead of complaining about lack of money... be thankful that you have money to begin with.
• Instead of complaining about your family... be thankful that your family is there for you.
• Instead of complaining about eating too much... be thankful you didn't go hungry.
• Instead of complaining about that bad smell... be thankful that your sniffer works.
• Instead of complaining about the loud music your neighbor has... be thankful you have ears to hear.

We have so much to be thankful for... yet, we constantly dwell on the negative. Instead of complaining... be thankful. And, if you can't think of a reason to be thankful... think again. Be thankful you can think at all.

"Come all you who are thirsty, come to the waters..." Isaiah 55:1
