James 1:16-17 “Don’t be deceived, my dear brothers. Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, Who does not change like shifting shadows.”

Preacher H.A. Ironside was in a crowded restaurant one day. Just as Ironside was about to begin his meal, a man approached & asked if he could join him. Ironside invited the man to have a seat. Then, as was his custom, Ironside bowed his head in prayer. When he opened his eyes, the other man asked, "Do you have a headache?" Ironside replied, "No, I don’t." The other man asked, "Well, is there something wrong with your food?" Ironside replied, "No, I was simply thanking God as I always do before I eat."
The man said, "Oh, you’re one of those, are you? Well, I want you to know I never give thanks. I earn my money by the sweat of my brow, and I don’t have to give thanks to anybody when I eat. I just start right in!" Ironside said, "Yes, you’re just like my dog. That’s what he does too!"

All good things come from God our Father. All good material, physical, and spiritual things, come from God. Sometimes we just don’t look at things correctly. Often we are blind to the goodness of God operating in and coming to our lives daily. What- or who- can you give thanks to the Lord for this morning?
