How To Help And Teach My Children To Give Thanks In All Circumstances? 1 Thessalonians 5:18 (Bill Flowers, Vestavia Hills, Alabama
Bill shares a story of how his daughter was bummed out after not playing well in her
golf tournament. He used the opportunity to encourage gratefulness, and together
they started discussing all the things that they were thankful for, for that day. Bill wanted to be intentional in teaching his daughter 1 Thessalonians 5:18 which is “Be Thankful in all circumstances, for this is God’s will for you who belong to Christ Jesus”. What a wonderful way to shift the focus of their hearts! He was able to explain to his daughter that it can be more difficult to be thankful when things do not go our way, but we are still called to find gratitude in all circumstances.
