11-19-12- Thanking God for each other

I always thank my God for you because of his grace given you in Christ Jesus. For in him you have been enriched in every way—with all kinds of speech and with all knowledge

Thoughts:  Paul often begins his letter with thanksgiving.  He says that he can always thank God for them.  Thanksgiving does not depend on merit or circumstance.  Rather, it depends on God's grace, and that God is working in us.  God works in us in bad circumstances and good circumstances.  But that God is at work is always cause for thanksgiving. He enriches us- which is cause for thanks.  This thanksgiving thank God for those around you- what He has done, what He is doing, and what He may do in the future. 

Prayer:  Help me, Lord, to be thankful for what you are doing both in me and in others.
