Have you ever noticed that thankful people seem to be more pleasant to be around? At least in my own life, I find that folks that complain a whole lot tend to have a different out look on life than those that are thankful, and sometimes that out look can express itself through comments or attitudes that aren't always pleasant to be around. In contrast, thankful people, especially those who can be thankful in all circumstances, seem to be uplifting in their words and offer more grace through their attitudes and actions.
I don't know about you, but I want to be a thankful person. A person who is filled with the joy of God, not just when everything is going well, but when their are challenges as well. And I believe the root of such joy can be found in the anchor of my prayer life. I want to thank God at all times and in all places, not just for the blessings God has bestowed, but also for who God is.
May our prayer lives be so overflowing with thankfulness that it be expressed in our daily lives! Amen!
