Give thanks, with a grateful heart.

June 7, 2023

Give thanks, with a grateful heart. What are you thankful for? Your parents, your spouse, your children, your grandchildren, daughter or son-in-laws, your siblings, your in-laws, your friends, your job, the house you live in, the clothes you wear, the food you eat, the town, the state, or the country you live in—what are you thankful for? To be thankful means is to be pleased, express gratitude, or beholden. Today let us give thanks for all the things we are thankful for—for if you really think about it we are blessed. Psalms 100:1-5 reads, “Make a joyful noise to the LORD, all the lands! Serve the LORD with gladness! Come into his presence with singing! Know that the LORD is God! It is he that made us, and we are his; we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture. Enter his gates with thanksgivings, and his courts with praise! Give thanks to him, bless his name! For the LORD is good; his steadfast love endures for ever, and his faithfulness to all generations.” Give thanks, praise God, be grateful. God Bless. Amen.
