Hello ,
Several churches in North Dakota were being served by a clever old preacher. The people were always amazed, for no matter what the circumstances, the preacher could always find something to give thanks for.
As he made his rounds one cold December morning, he was late in getting to worship because of excessive snow drifts. As he began the service with prayer, the parishioners were eager to see what the old preacher could come up with to be thankful for on this dismal and frigid morning. "Gracious Lord," his prayer began, "we thank you that all days are not like today."
I had to chuckle when I heard this story, but its meaning is right on target. We can always find something to be thankful for!
"in everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you." 1 Thessalonians 5:18
Have a great day and God bless!
