J. B. Lightfoot, Notes on the Epistles of St. Paul:
…there is no event of our lives which has not its bright side as well as its dark; no incident which may not be turned to good account, and therefore nothing for which we have not reason to thank God if we view it in a right spirit.…For what is thanksgiving but a recognition of His Majesty, and a tribute to His divine power?
