The scripture gave a layout in 1Thessalonian 5:18 that in all circumstances we should give thanks. We quote this passage more often but we are not acting it as often as we quote.
I was tested on this part of the scripture few years back and I thank God I passed. I was a choir coordinator few years ago and someone so dear to me passed on to glory on a day preseeding the sabbath day, I was to take the worship session on that Sunday but because of what happened I was called by my Pastor then and excused from the service.
In mourning we were when the scripture came, that in all things give thanks, I prepared for church the following morning and my household also and we headed for church.
That morning, to the glory of God, I led the worship session like never before, the hand of God was so mighty upon me and I was so blessed in his presence.
I guess I was saying nonsense, somebody is saying! I challenge you to be thankful in all situation, that is the only way you can unlock the blessings of God therefore, I implore you henceforth , to say thank you for grace, thank you for mercy, thank you for understanding, thank you for wisdom, thank you for parent, thank you for love, thank you for kindness, thank you for humility, thank you for peace, thank you for prosperity, Say thank you in advance for what’s already yours.
That’s how I live my life, that’s one of the reasons why I am where I am today, say “Thank you” in advance and what’s already yours THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU FOR THIS DAY. Thank you for every moment that led to this day.
Thank you for hard times, the made appreciate the good times, thank you for the lessons of life learnt, they were needed for my development, thank you for my eyes that witness the miracles of today and tomorrow, thank you for every thing I take for granted.
Thank you for all my blessings, thank you for my drive, thank you for my spirit, thank you for your spirit in me, thank you for my strength you renewed daily like the strength of an eagle, thank you for giving me the courage to fight through the hard times
Thank you for the people in my life 
It is the key that opens the doors to instant happiness, unlock the doors to every thing we are really seeking in life, happiness and contentment, think about it, no matter what you say you want , money, riches, cars, women, houses, to help others, why do you really want it?
When you drill deep down, the only reason anyone wants ANYTHING is the feeling we believe we will get from having it, that all boils down to happiness and contentment, and the truth is, we can have it now if we are GRATEFUL and if you get quirt, get away from the noise of the world and think for a moment what you could be grateful for.
