Give thanks

1 Thessalonians 5:15-18
Make sure that nobody pays back wrong for wrong, but always strive to do what is good for each other and for everyone else.
Rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.

Yesterday was a bad day for me.  I had been wronged by someone and I was very upset.  This left me with an attitude that was not so present.  I’ll be honest, I was a little rude to a few people because of this this.  Once I finally realized that I was paying back wrong for wrong, I had to go and apologize to the people that I was rude with.  I had realized that I had an attitude and it was not right.  I had to really work to improve that attitude. 

It was during some down time that I started praying and trying to focus on the blessings I have that I finally realized that in all things, I need to give thanks.  Yes, someone may be attacking you and making you feel horrible, however it’s important to remember not to allow the domino effect to take place. 


Today I just want to encourage you to rejoice always and pray continually.  Even when being wronged, there is something you can be thankful for.
