day 399: Thank Yous

This will be a short post today about thank yous. Today, listen carefully around the office to how many times you hear and use the words, “thank you”. Some people end every conversation and email with a thank you, but for some thank you is a hard set of words to use. Imagine that in our jobs the spirit of thankfulness was endemic to the company and that everyone started from a place of being thankful first. How great would that be? That is how we are to be as believers. We see it clearly in Colosians 3:15: “And let the peace that comes from Christ rule in your hearts. For as members of one body you are called to live in peace. And always be thankful.” Yes, we are to always be thankful for those around us, for the talents and gifts given to us, for the ability to work, for the chance to be able to influence, for the opportunity to work and live to the purpose of bringing glory to God in all that we do. To that, let us say all day long on this day, “Thank You!”
