Thankful
One optimistic minister had the habit in his opening prayer each Sunday of thanking God for the weather. On one particularly cold, icy, windy, slushy, Sunday morning, the people who had ventured out wondered how the minister could possibly refer to the weather in his morning prayer with any sense of gratitude. To their surprise, he said in the beginning of his prayer, "Dear God, we thank Thee that Thou dost send us so few Sundays like today."
