A Thankful Heart

A thankful heart.  That’s the key to a happy life.

The Apostle Paul wrote – “In everything give thanks…”

That’s not difficult when everything is going well — you feel strong and happy…all the bills are paid…work is going well.

But what about when adversity strikes?  How then can you have a thankful heart?  It’s the “in everything” that stops you in your tracks.

But wait.  Consider all the ways in which you are blessed – the gift of life…the forgiveness of sins…the limitless dimension of the life of faith…the identification with Christ in suffering…and the blessed hope of someday being with Jesus.

The Bible is clear.  There is sufficient grace for every trial – so you can live with a thankful heart.
