TRY THANKSGIVING

When we're going througha difficult time,we may not feel particularly grrateful.
Yet,even in periods of suffering and fear,we can thank God for His abundant promises and unfailing goodness.When we do express our gratitude to God,a wonderful change takes place
within us.
Henry w.fost,veteran missionary to china, discovered this for himself.
He said "I had received sad news from home, and deep shadows had covered my soul.
I prayed, butthe darkness did not vanish. I summoned myself to endure, but the darkness only deepened. Then I went to an inland station and saw on the wall of the mission home these words: TRY THANKSGIVING. I did, and in a moment every shadow was gone, not to return. Yes, psalmist was right. 'It is good to give thanks to the LORD.'
Perhaps you have felt the a shadow come over your spiritual life. Or maybe you're struggling under heavy burdens that seem unbearable. If so, bow your head and thanks to the LORD for all he has done for you. Tell him you know he loves you and has not abandoned you. Express your gratitude for your salvation, for life itself, and for the good things He has given you. then you will begin to experience for your self the blessing of thanksgiving.

if we were thankful for everything the way GOD'S tell us to be,
what a wonderful change in our living we would be able to see!
