Matthew Henry, a famous Bible scholar was once attacked by thieves and robbed. In his diary he wrote, “Let me be thankful, first because I was never robbed before; second although they took my purse, they did not take my life; third because, although they took my all, it was not much; fourth because it was I who was robbed, not I who robbed”.
The reason for the story, a thankful heart will make even the bitterest of pills go down just a little easier. Paul the apostle wrote these words, “Rejoice evermore. Pray without ceasing. In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.” (1 Thessalonians 5:16-18) As Christians we should have a habit of saying thank you for even the small things someone does for us, a smile and a thank you makes the day go better for all of us. Give thanks unto the Lord; for He is good.
