Thankfulness Study
(compiled by Bill Stevenson)

Note: By May 1977, I believed that I was more thankful to God than all of the Christians I
knew. But a five day collapsed lung experience taught me how far short I was from
matching God’s desires in this area. I realized that I should be thankful for every breath I
am allowed to take whether I am in a good or bad situation. Thus, I investigated what the
Bible says about this area of appreciation. Try to determine why I chose each of the
following and placed it where I did.
Serious Thankfulness Problems:
1.) Romans 1:21] 2.) Luke 18:11]
