1 Thes 5:18 is one of my life verses.

It says, "In EVERYTHING give thanks, for this is the will of God concerning you in Christ Jesus".

I have teens these days....one 16 (girl) and one 13 (boy).

I have found myself weeping on the floor (this is not my normal position/response to life) because of my children's decisions.

it has brought to mind how we must break the Father's heart at times...that he's given us EVERYTHING that pertains to life...and we are like children, unthankful, demanding, and downright stupid sometimes.

My heart is to be thankful in all things. To trust that God knows what he is doing - even when I can't see the end.

I think a thankful spirit is one of the most appealing qualities we can have!
