God's love and blessings are overwhelming.
Can you see how blessed we are on all levels so that we could get closer to God and have thanksgiving in our hearts so that it comes out of our thoughts, then out of our mouths every single day and at the end of each day.
"In everything, give thanks unto the Lord". That's what the Bible says and it's true. When you're truly thankful, you give thanks in everything and for everything.
When you're thankful for "everything", you can't find time to complain and peace fills your heart.
When that time of grief comes, when that time of loss comes, you have something to look back at and recognize that you can find room to accept some grief and some loss in light of the more abundant blessings that have been bestowed upon you.
Thanksgiving produces faith and faith produces strength and strength produces peace and peace produces praise and praise produces joy. And these are the fruits of the spirit of God that become the character of Christ that ultimately makes one a Christian.
All praise to God Amighty in the highest.
