Giving thanks is a very import aspect of our christian life. If you look at today’s Scripture, it doesn’t say to be thankful for all things but to be thankful in all things. Even in the midst of difficult situation, you can find a reason for a thankful heart. I like the phrase that says, “I complained because I had no shoes until I met a man who had no feet.” whatever your situations may be, I believe there is a reason to be thankful.Despite the fact that at some point your situation may look as if its static, but your attitude can change and that will make all the difference in the world.
Mark Terrhy was a Canadian distance runner who started a run from one side of Canada to the other. He ran at least 26 miles each day to raise money for cancer research. He was a cancer victim himself. He ran every mile on one leg, since his right leg had been amputated above the knee. Almost every day, a television announcer or radio newscaster would put a microphone in front of Terry and ask him how his run for cancer was going. Often exhausted and losing valuable strength, Terry would say, “I don’t know about tomorrow, but God gave me another day to live and I’m thankful for each day I’m alive.”
Terrhy didn’t finish his run across Canada because he died of the dreaded disease. And despite that, he never stopped been thankful for each day and considered each one God’s gift to him. With an attitude of thankfulness, he made the most of a difficult situation. So as Christians being thankful at all point no matter the situation on ground is very important
thanks for reading this little piece and I pray that as you continue your journey in christ, you will always find a reason to be thankful, SHALOM!
