"Give Thanks for Everything"

DO YOU view yourself as a grateful, thankful person?  That is a question for each of us to consider.  They Bible foretold that in our time, many people would be "unthankful." (2 Timothy 3:2) You have likely met some who feel entitled to everything they have, as if most things were owed to them. It seems they feel that they do not need to be grateful for what they receive. Have you found that is unpleasant to be around such people? 

In contrast, Jehovah's servants are told:  "Show yourselves thankful."  We are to "give thanks  for everything." (Colossians 3:15; 1 Thessalonians 5:18)   In fact, cultivating a spirit of gratitude is good for us.  There are a number of reasons why that is so.
