Therefore , as God's chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. Bear with each other and forgive whatever grievances you may have against one another. forgive as the Lord forgave you. And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity. Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace. And BE THANKFUL!
Colossians 3:12-15
I love this long list...and I love how it ends. BE THANKFUL. It's like Paul was rereading what he wrote and realized he forgot the most important part. Like putting in that last ingredient to make the soup sizzle. Thankfulness is that ingredient to the recipe of life. It adds the hop to your step, the whistle to your lips, and the twinkle to your eye.
