The thankful person sees the advantages God has provided instead of seeing all the missed opportunities in life. The thankful person sees the hand of God working in every situation no matter how bad or bleak the situation might be. The thankful person sees the good in life and praises God even in the midst of pain and suffering. The thankful person calls any small gift a good fortune and counts each day of life as a favor from God, no matter how much trouble the day might bring. The thankful person sees each day as a gift from God and as an opportunity to serve Him. The thankful person rejoices in the opportunity to do the Lord's will. The thankful person counts as gain even the slightest improvement of his or her lot in life. The thankful person counts even things like the warmth of the sun, the dampness of rain, the cold of the snow, and the fierceness of the wind, as blessings from God.
