Sweet Summertime! Donuts and Fifth Sunday Fellowship! 1 Thessalonians 5:18!

As you go through your life,

Make this your goal:

Look at the donut,

And not at the hole!

 1 Thessalonians 5:18

“Give thanks in all circumstances,  for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.”  

God wants us to be thankful!  Is that just when life is going great?  

Nope.  God wants us to be thankful in all circumstances. 

Why do you think that is? 

Who does that benefit?

When we are able to be thankful even when things are hard, we are looking at the donut, and not at the hole. 

We are looking at the good things God is still providing, and we are trusting God to take care of the hard things, too. 

Being thankful is good for us.  It helps us get through hard times and keep going.
