The third chapter of Paul's letter gives us six specific instructions (Colossians 3:15-17).
1. Let the peace of Christ rule in your heart
2. Be thankful
3. Be rich in scripture
4. Admonish one another with Psalms and hymn and spiritual songs, with thankfulness in your hearts to The Lord
5. Whatever you do, do it in the name of The Lord
6. Giving thanks to the God and Father through him
Go back and count how many references there are in this short list to being thankful.
Notice God's gifts to you today, both small ones like blossoming trees and large ones like a changed heart.
