"In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you." - 1st Thessalonians 5:18It's easy to think we are thankful, until we try to nail down specifics.
Here is a revealing exercise - Write down ten (10) things you are, specifically, thankful for, and don't get "churchy" (we all know you are thankful for God, Jesus, etc.). Try it, you may be surprised.
Put that list where you normally stop to pray, it will be a blessing.
Here is my list, in no particular order after the first item:
1. My wife, children, and family
2. A good job
3. A good vehicle
4. Lack of pain
5. A CPAP machine and the ability to sleep
6. Air conditioning
7. A good home
8. My orange tree
9. Our friends (remember, I said in no particular order)
10. Freedom to Worship.
