Thankful Thursday

"Be cheerful no matter what; 
pray all the time; 
thank God no matter what happens. 
This is the way God wants you who belong to Christ Jesus to live." 
1 Thessalonians 5:18 (The Message)

Lord, teach Alyssa and Kyle to be thankful individuals, giving you praise no matter what happens in their lives.  Being cheerful no matter what is hard and is a hard discipline, but is how you want us to be.  So, whatever today holds, I pray that Alyssa and Kyle can give you praise and thanks!
