followers of Jesus, Paul writes to the Colossians saying,
“Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members
of one body you were called to peace. And be thankful.
Let the message of Christ dwell among you
richly as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom through
psalms, hymns, and songs from the Spirit, singing to God with gratitude in
your hearts. And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in
the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through
him.”

Notice that three times Paul tells the reader to exhibit
thankfulness or gratitude. He ties being thankful to peace. Doesn’t that
make perfect sense? If you are being thankful or expressing gratitude for
a person or situation, you don’t have time or feel the need to cause
problems. During this season when emotions can sometimes run high,
take time to be thankful for your blessings and show gratitude to God
and the people who bless your life in big and small ways.
