    3.  For good things and bad;  by learning from the bad things we experienced.  

    4.  By offering our blessings, and pains, the past and the future

    5.  Jesus in the Last Supper, knowing that there would be somebody who will sell him out to the Jews did not mention this and instead ".broke the bread, ... gave thanks and

          said "Do this in memory of me..." He did not mention about Judas and Peter about to disown Him

3.  How it is not shown?

   1.  By being unhappy with our lot;  by desiring things we do not have;  by being covetous and envious

    2.  By questioning and even angry with God.

    1.  If you thank the Lord, you will no longer covet more things  nor question Him or even make Him an ATM God

    2.  Work hard to be a blessing to others.  You ate today because you are to feed others.

    3.  Be a blessing to others;  or make yourself through which the blessing will flow;
