When thieves robbed Matthew Henry, he still found something to be thankful for. He wrote these words about this traumatic event in his life: “Let me be thankful first because I was never robbed before; second, because, although they took my purse, they did not take my life; third, because it was I who was robbed, not I who robbed.”  You do not need to be an English author or non-conformist Presbyterian preacher like Matthew Henry to have an attitude of thankfulness.  Thankfulness is an attitude you can personally carry with you today.

How can a person have something bad happen to him and still have an attitude of thankfulness?
