Don’t Worry, Be Thankful
It was my turn to do the “Thought of the Day” on the Christian mailling list at work. This is a slightly expanded version of a point Pastor Dan made in his sermon on Sunday.
It’s hard to be both thankful for the things in our life and to worry about them at the same time. For example, how can we be thankful for our job and then be worried whether we are going to keep it?
And Jesus tells us not to worry at all but to seek out the Lord and to follow his direction for our lives. Instead, we should be thankful for what He has given to us. Therefore, we have much to be thankful for. And we should be thankful for the fact that we are forgiven and He will always take care of us.
So remember this holiday and beyond — don’t worry, be thankful!
