(Phil 4:11-12 NKJV)\u00a0 Not that I speak in regard to need, for I have learned in whatever state I am, to be content: {12} I know how to be abased, and I know how to abound. Everywhere and in all things I have learned both to be full and to be hungry, both to abound and to suffer need.<\/p>\n
One thing we have learned over the years is to be thankful, no matter what season of life we\u2019re in.<\/p>\n
The biggest lesson we\u2019ve learned is that when we are in times of need, not to complain. God has taught us to be thankful and content even when things are tough.<\/p>\n
If tough times and trials come our way, which they will, the worst thing any of us can do is to complain and whine. Falling into the trap of negativity only keeps us where we\u2019re at for longer than we need to be.<\/p>\n
If we\u2019re thankful for what we do have and learn to make the best of it, we\u2019ll be able to move on that much more quickly.<\/p>\n
In everything that we go through, there is always something for us to learn, so the sooner we learn it, the better off we\u2019ll be.<\/p>\n
So express your gratitude to God for what you have and look forward to what He will do for you next and you\u2019ll see a huge change in how you feel and how your life goes for you.<\/p>\n
