THANKSGIVING DAY EVERY DAY

Colossians 3:17 NKJV And whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through Him.

Today we wish our friends in the USA a Happy Thanksgiving Day.😊 Although we don’t have an official day for giving thanks, scripture encourages us to be giving thanks every day. Our God is a good God and we have so many blessings to give Him thanks for, it won’t be hard.

They’ve done a survey and discovered gratitude helps us acknowledge all the goodness in our lives, so it makes us happier and we feel more positive, which has got to be good!😊 Grateful people had less visits to the doctor than those who focused on their irritations! 

Some people use Thanksgiving Jars, where throughout the year they write down anything that’s been a blessing to them, pop it in the jar and then they open it up when it’s full and remember all the things that have happened to be grateful to God for, that they’d have forgotten about!

When it’s been a busy day though it can be easy to forget to say thank You to the Lord for the things we take so much for granted. When you switch the light on and it works - we don’t need candles! When the bus is on time, or the car works when we jump in it, when someone smiles, when the heating keeps us warm in the snow - there are thousands of things to thank God for. What blessings!😊

So this is just a little reminder to thank our good God for all His mercies today, for keeping us safe, for anything that lifted our spirits, and being so grateful for our friends and families.
Psalm 92:1 NKJV It is good to give thanks to the Lord, …

Lord, wherever we are in the world we’d just to like to say Thank You for all Your goodness to us, for all Your blessings, past, present, and those still to come, but most of all for Jesus.😊 Amen.
