Be Thankful - For EVERYTHING!

I will have to admit that this particular "command" for living the Christian life is sometimes difficult. I keep asking myself, "Does this scripture really mean what it says?" I appreciate Sarah Young's encouraging words about the importance of giving thanks in ALL circumstances - even though those circumstances might not change. Her reassurance came to me in particular with the words, "Thankfulness opens your heart to My Presence and your mind to My thoughts."

Do you give thanks for everything? Have you had a change of heart and/or reassurance of God's love and Presence when doing so? Please share you thoughts on this sometimes challenging scripture from Ephesians 5:20 and also in Philippians 4:6-7 (which gives a slightly different light to this command).
