So today I want you to practice thankfulness for everything. Take a pad of paper, or a notebook, or a couple of notecards, or a sheet of paper and take three minutes to write out everything for which you are thankful. Just write furiously for three minutes, and name all the things for which you are grateful. When you are done, put the pad of paper in your bag, or stuff the notebook in your backpack or put the note cards in your back pocket or maybe fold up that sheet of paper and cram it in your purse.

Then, as you go throughout the day and you start to complain, or you’re standing in line at the bank or you’re irritate by that bank teller who moves at the speed of peanut butter, or your really irritated with the teacher who won’t quit yippin’, pull out your list and keep adding to it. EVERYTHING YOU HAVE, HAS BEEN GIVEN TO YOU BY GOD, so let Him know how thankful you are.
