We each have much to be thankful for, but because of our shortsightedness, we sometimes fail to see how blessed we really are. Many times we focus more on what we are missing rather than being thankful for the great bounties that we possess. If we take a moment and think of those who are less fortunate than we are, we would quickly real- ize that we have nothing to complain about. We are to be thankful for our health, our family, our friends, our jobs, and the list can continue on. Train yourself to be one who gives thanks to the Lord multiple times each day. Do not allow yourself to murmur and complain when the temptation arises, but rather use that opportunity to let God know that you are trusting in Him and know that every trial will be used to make you stronger than you were before. Give God thanks for all that He has given to you. You will soon find that being thankful will ease your burdens much more than your complaining could ever do. (Philippians 4:19) (Psalm 103:1-5) (Psalm 146:5-10)
