I recently heard someone say, “I don’t think there should be one special day set aside for thanksgiving.”  After pausing to let his remark sink in, he continued, “I think that there should be one day set aside for griping and complaining, and every other day should be a day of thanksgiving!”

He certainly has a point. Most people spend way too much time complaining and far too little time giving thanks to God for all the blessings he has given us.

Let’s try to do better.

“Do everything without complaining or arguing.”—Philippians 2:14.

“Give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.”—1 Thessalonians 5:18.
