Cive Thanks

1st Thessalonians 5:18: In all things give Thanks.

Being Thankful In All Things: Giving thanks also reminds us of how much we do have. Human beings are prone to covetousness. . I joke a lot when I’m talking to my girls, I’ll say. I was at the store and a person was buying earbuds, I say, “well I’m coveting”, looking at what someone else is buying, “Yeah earbuds, $11.00. I’m getting some too,     like them. Did I need them? No! We tend to focus on what we don’t have. By giving thanks continually we are reminded of how much we do have. When we focus on blessings rather than wants, we are happier. When we start thanking God for the things, we usually take for granted, our perspective changes. We realize that we could not even exist without the mercies of God. First Thessalonians 5:18 says, “In everything give thanks; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.”
