An Attitude Of Gratitude!
By Mark Flippo
Psalm 118:24
This is the day that the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it.
Psalm 136:1
Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good, for his steadfast love endures forever.
1 Thessalonians 5:18
Give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.
Colossians 3:17
And whatever you do, in word or deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.
Ephesians 1:16
I do not cease to give thanks for you, remembering you in my prayers,
Hebrews 12:28
Therefore let us be grateful for receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, and thus let us offer to God acceptable worship, with reverence and awe,
Colossians 3:15
And let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to which indeed you were called in one body. And be thankful.

Have you noticed that true gratitude is lacking today everywhere you go. People seem to feel like you owe them. The service industry has a bad attitude overall. When they bring food to your table it seems to be a lot of effort for them. It is like, why are you wasting my time. Am I the only one that feels that way?
When you go out of your way to help and never a thank you is heard.
Please has gone by the wayside. Manners seems to be thought of as archaic ways of behaving. Family can be the worst. Have you prayed for these people? We have no control over their attitudes. Only God can do the heavy lifting by changing a society of it's slipping morals and manners. It shows us as Christians we are not praying on our knees anywhere near enough!
We have failed our families and our country. We are to blame for the horrible attitudes and the lazy way people act today! We need to do some mass repenting! God forgive our lazy ways we have approached you. We have forgotten where He has dug us out of! We were not pretty then and we are not pretty now!
Only God can clean us out and up! Please ask for His forgiveness and get yourself on the right path again! Help others to see the error of their ways by praying for them and let God wake them up! Children of God now is our time to change and get to the real work He put us here to do!
