The Bible says, "Give thanks in everything" (1 Thess. 5:18 HCSB). In everything?In trouble, in distress? Even interruptions?
Jesus did. When five thousand people interrupted his planned retreat, he took them out to lunch. "Then he told the people to sit down on the grass. He took the five loaves and the two fish and, looking to heaven, he thanked God for the food" (Matt. 14:19 NCV, emphasis mine).
