Are You Thankful?

 
This is a beautiful piece from a blog reader who'd like his identity to be anonymous..
Please read and enjoy..... Happy Sunday y'all 


 A preacher once said that he was taken in a trance to a place in Heaven where he was shown the Request Office and the Thanksgiving Office..
What he noticed was that the angels in the Request office worked round the clock(24hrs, nonstop). But, work at the thanksgiving office was very very slow.. In fact, there was not much work going on there.
So He asked the angel why it was so? And the angel said "people make requests and complaints a lot, but they never give thanks for the one God did for them in the past.. That's why you see that, when a thanksgiving offer comes, the work is done swiftly and when the person giving thanks has a problem, his/her problem is solved quickly, unlike the request room where angels have to deal with request on a first come, first serve basis... And there are requests dating back 1- 2 years that are still pending, and more requests keep coming every second"
And when the man woke up, He canceled every plans he had that day, himself and his family gave thanks throughout that day. 

 

*Thanksgiving provides you, direct access to the presence of God - Ps 100: 1-5
*Thanksgiving provides you access to the will of God - 1Thess 5:18
*Thanksgiving provides you access to more of God's blessings John 6:11-13

There must be one thing to thank God for. Therefore, celebrate God's goodness in your life today.

Happy Sunday guys
