thankfulness is one of the biggest blessings God gave us. when i was moping about at work today complaining about why I was such a superior worker and why do I have to be around people that aren't as competent and hard working as me, the Holy Spirit reminded me that it is better to be thankful than to be a whiner.
SO, surprisingly, I didn't find myself overcome with a feeling of obligation to act like everything was better all the sudden, but as I started to think of things I was thankful for, I enjoyed my coworkers in their unique gifts.
Because God is gracious, there is always something to be thankful for. I'm not going to use this to marginalize a grieving soul, but to address my own unthankful grumbling self. And Jesus has picked up the broken pieces every time.
Praise God.
