THANKSGIVING
(That we would contemplate all of our blessings and truly be thankful with no complaining or grumbling)

Scripture: Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace. And be thankful. And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him (Colossians 3:15, 17).

Reflection: Because we are members of one body, peace should rule in our hearts. When we remember to be thankful for the blessings of God, our focus comes off of self and turns to Him.

Prayer: Dear Lord, give us thankful hearts that are focused on You. Help us to be mindful that in all circumstances You are with us and we can find peace in You. Help us as a body of believers not to take any blessing for granted remembering that every good and perfect gift comes from You.
