Thanksgiving in Prayer

"What do you have that you did not receive? If then you received it, why do you boast as if you did not receive it?"  The Apostle Paul uses these words to remind us that even the hardest working person uses time, talent, and resources that they did not provide to themselves.  Each of us, to be honest with ourselves and others, has much for which to be thankful.  Giving thanks is a key ingredient of prayer, for it is a key ingredient of honesty.
