Gratitude

John F. Kennedy once said, "We must find the time to stop and thank the people who make a difference in our lives." In today's society, people aren't walking around with the best of manners. Someone may do something nice, but most of us won't stop to say thank you. I find that I tend to forget to thank my mom, when she does something nice for me.
I also find that we often tend to forget to thank God for all he has done. God performs little miracles throughout our day we don't thank Him for it. 1 Thessalonians says, "Give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus." In every thing we do, we should be thanking God. When you thank someone who did something nice for you, you are also thanking God, because God put that person in your life to help you. God put that person in your life to make a difference, even though it is a small difference. If someone opened the door for you when your hands are full, they made a difference in your life because you didn't have to set down your load to open the door, and then pick up everything and stumble in through the door.  By saying thanks, you are fulfilling God's will, by giving thanks in all circumstances. John F. Kennedy said that we need to stop and thank the ones who make a difference in our lives. Along with thanking the person, we also need to thank God for putting them in our lives, and for everything He has done for us.
