THANK YOU! YOU Bring a Special JOY!

Have you had your Joy Juice today?  I have!  Thank you for listening to and reading Joy Juice! And thank you for sharing!

            How often do you say “Thank You”?  It’s a personal indicator of whether we have an attitude of gratitude or whether we take God’s blessings for granted.  When you wake up in the morning do you thankfully say “Good morning, Lord! Thank for this new day!”  Or do you start complaining about all you have to do? 

            When you eat at a restaurant, do you thank the waiter for serving you, or do you find fault with the service?  What about your family….do you thank them for the things that they do or do you point out all the things they have NOT done!

            The scripture tells us in Ephesians 5:20 “At all times and for everything give thanks in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ…”

 

YES….it says “At ALL times… give thanks….”

• We should be thankful for the difficult times. It’s during those times that we grow.

• Be thankful for your limitations, because they give you opportunities for improvement.

• Be thankful for each new challenge, because it will build your strength and character.

• Be thankful when you’re tired and weary! That means you’ve made a difference.

It is easy to be thankful for the good things. A life of rich fulfillment comes to those who are also thankful for the setbacks.

GRATITUDE can turn a negative into a positive. Find a way to be thankful for your troubles and they can become your blessings.

        Let’s drink the JOY JUICE of Jesus so that we’ll be aware of all our blessings!  Thank God for each and every one!
