Thanksgiving

Church sermon today was absolutely great!! It was about being thankful but in a way that I've never heard before.

Bible verse for today:

"Be joyful always; pray continuously; give thanks in all circumstances for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus."
[1 Thessalonians 5:16-18]

We don't have to be thankful that our transmission is broken, but we need to be thankful we have transportation.

We don't need to be thankful that we broke our arm, but we need to be thankful we have limbs.

We don't need to thankful a close one died, but we need to be thankful they lived and we got to have time with them.

We don't have to be thankful for every single thing, but in all circumstances we need to give thanks.

"Through Jesus, therefore, let us continually offer to God a sacrifice of praise - the fruit of lips that confess his name."
[Hebrews 13:15]

Let's give God thanksgiving, for it is only because of Him that we have life.
