These days, the workplace for many has a certain sense of gloom. The economy hasn’t treated most of us well.
Cutbacks, reductions and less benefits are the norm.

Many of my friends have gone from the rolls of short-term unemployed to long-term. Others are underemployed, finding work as temps or part time workers, benefits trimmed or stripped outright.
And for those that are still working, they have to do way more with way less.
Rather than let our employment challenges drag us down, let’s take back the workplace for God’s glory, through an attitude of gratitude. “In all things give thanks.”
First of all, I’m thankful I even have a job.
I’m thankful for the challenge, and even the frustrations.
I’m thankful for the out-of-control schedule
I’m thankful for my coworkers.
I’m thankful for every penny that my employer sends my way.
In every way, I’m grateful for this job.
