Christian Reflection and Prayer

Scripture:

"Whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the
Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through Him."
(Colossians 3:17)

My parents had one very specific rule as I was growing up.
They were constantly teaching to always say "please" and
"thank you".  Actually it was my first words learned.
I soon learned in my life the connection between asking
politely and receiving gratefully.  The problem is that as we get
older that connection begins to disconnect, Especially with God.
We ask for more and praise a lot less.  We need to be reminded
what the Apostle Paul tell us in Colossians 3:15-17=   "Be
Thankful" (v.15), "Sing with gratitude to the Lord" (v.16), "Do all in
the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father
through Him" (v.17).  

Prayer:

I thank you Lord for Blessings you give us on our way, May
I forever be Grateful, and Praise You everyday.  (Roworth)
THANK YOU GOD FOR BEING GOD!!!!
