“Just Start Giving Thanks” July 19, 2013 at 7:06am You usually can’t keep bad stuff from happening. Or fix terrible tragedies that occur. Or right every wrong. But you can always do something.You can just start giving thanks. This is not a naïve attempt to say God’s always responsible for what happens – including everything tragic, painful and unjust- so you have to thank God even if you don’t understand why. But it is a bold affirmation of faith that there’s always something you can give thanks for. So when you’re having a tough day and everything seems to be going wrong – just start giving thanks that God keeps filling you with grace. When you’re struggling with your health – just start giving thanks for those people who care enough to always be there for you. When you’re broken-hearted because terrible injustices occur – just start giving thanks that important questions get asked, needed conversations begin and things can change. Just start giving thanks in spite of what’s going on and regardless of how hard it is and you’ll make an amazing discovery. Bit-by-bit, you’re becoming more grace-driven, more compassionate, more generous and better able to live God’s way.
