Gratitude Changes Everything
So then, just as you received Christ Jesus as Lord, continue to live in him, rooted and built up in him, strengthened in the faith as you were taught, and overflowing with thankfulness. Colossians 2:6,7
My daughter-in-law has a plaque in her kitchen with three simple words: Gratitude Changes Everything! Would you rather live with a person who complains about everything or one who expresses gratitude no matter what the circumstances? The phrase "God is good — all the time" is incredibly more difficult to say in the midst of intense suffering. However, I see a significant connection between the first part of this verse — "rooted and built up in him" — and the last phrase of "overflowing with thankfulness." My prayer for the King's community — students, faculty and staff, and parents — is that focusing on being rooted in Christ will bring an overflow of gratitude — because gratitude does change everything in the routines of daily living.
