The Fire-starter this morning is taken from this verse up above. 

How hard is it to be thankful? Its really hard in some cases. We all have times where we were not thankful but we should have been. Yes, I am speaking to me as well this morning, as always. All of us included look at the bad in the situation when we should be looking at the good. 

Question this morning is are you being thankful in everything? 

When you do not have enough money are you still thankful? 

When you get bad news from the doctor are you still giving praise? 

These are tough questions but we must consider them I am reminded that we need to give thanks in everything we do. 

May we enter thankful today.
