Colossians 2:7 gives us the instruction to be "overflowing with gratitude." When we keep God first, God last and God everything in between, we will begin to realize all He has done and is doing on our behalf. When we take the time to be in His word, or to spend time in thankfulness to Him, our perspective of our circumstances and the world around us will change, making it possible to live a life overflowing with gratitude.
