Someone once told me a story about a person that died and went to heaven. While the Apostle Peter was showing him around, they stopped at a huge room where there were millions of angels constantly typing in front of their computers. The person asked: and what are all these angels doing? and Peter said: This is the prayer department, these angels are typing the millions and millions of daily requests coming from the human race. Wow! the person responded. Then they went to a small room next to it, where there were just a few angels sitting in front of their computer typing a few words every once in a while. And what are these doing? the person asked. Peter replied: this is the Thanksgiving department.Many times we find ourselve asking God for stuff, but we don't thank him enough for all His blessings. The Bible says in 1st Thessalonians 5:17-18 "pray without ceasing, in everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you."
God's presence is experienced when we thank Him. Psalms 100:4 says "Enter into His gates with thanksgiving, And into His courts with praise. Be thankful to Him, and bless His name."
Today, stop for a minute or two and thank God for His goodness to you.
