I am happlily married with 5 kids. I am an accoutant and worked in an accounting field for over 25 years. I like to make a habit of writing down whenever I have deep thoughts about God (so I won't forget). I really into Reformed Theology that is connected to Presbyterian Church in America.

Be thankful IN all.......

Philippians 4:11 I am not saying this because I am in need, for I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances. 1 Timothy 4:8 For physical training is of some value, but godliness has value for all things, holding promise for both the present life and the life to come. 2 Corinthians 9:8 And God is able to make all grace abound to you, so that in all things at all times, having all that you need, you will abound in every good work. 1 Thessalonians 3:7 Therefore, brothers, in all our distress and persecution we were encouraged about you because of your faith. 2 Thessalonians 1:4 Therefore, among God's churches we boast about your perseverance and faith in all the persecutions and trials you are enduring. 1 Peter 1:6 In this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while you may have had to suffer grief in all kinds of trials. 1 Peter 1:15 But just as he who called you is holy, so be holy in all you do. I am not thankful for my deafness however I am thankful because in my circumstance of my deafness, I have communicated with other deaf people to know Christ. That's what we are to be thankful for. We are not thankful FOR WHAT we are living in but we are to be thankful IN WHAT we are living in. If you are not thankful in the circumstances you are living in, then you are ignoring the WORD. There's a big difference.
