Monday's thoughts

"The Importance of Think Thank"

There comes a time in life when we take stock of what we are and what we have. We know there are disappointments. We understand there are things that try our souls. There certainly are down times.

Our friends disappoint us from time to time. We have high hopes for our lives and our dreams do not develop the way we expected. Sometimes seasons of the year do not live up to our expectations.

All that is true and we know it. However, we can confront our disappointment with gratitude. There comes a time when our first impulse and our final word at the beginning of each day is "Thank you".

We are thankful for the air we breath.
We are thankful for friends who believe in us.
We are thankful for the memories that nourish us when we get discouraged.
We are thankful for opportunities that we've had even when things didn't happen the way we wished.

"Think Thank" isn't an imperative; it's a way of life.

This week we will think thanks about the people who have worked to make this church what it has become.

For what are you thankful? What should I be looking for for the sermon?
