It was Thanksgiving season in the nursing home. The small resident population was gathered about their humble Thanksgiving table, and the director asked each in turn to express one thing for which they were thankful. Thanks were expressed for a home in which to stay, families, etc.
One little old lady in her turn said, 'I thank the Lord for two perfectly good teeth, one in my upper jaw and one in my lower jaw that match so that I can chew my food.
"...in everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you." 1 Thessalonians 5:18
You and I might be tempted to chuckle at a story like this, but I was impressed with this elderly person's ability to give thanks in all situations.
What a lesson for all of us! What are you thankful for today; that might seem small and trivial to some, but makes a huge difference in your life?
