Colossians 3:17 “Whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks through Him to God the Father.”
Thankfulness Matters
In a world where we’re taught to want more, and to want it right now, it can become difficult to experience true gratitude for our blessings. We have so much to be thankful for in our families, and other relationships. We can even be thankful for the kindness of complete strangers.
Some of us may feel there isn’t much in our lives to be thankful for, but there really is, even amidst trials. We can be thankful for our health, our bodies, and, most importantly, God, our Creator and Savior.
To really get in a thankful mood, try watching a movie about gratitude this month.
Show Gratitude
We can express thankfulness to our families by helping around the house, helping with a holiday meal, or beginning a small family project.
We can also share our gratefulness with strangers by using kind words or by volunteering at a homeless shelter.
Ultimately, we can show our gratitude to God by studying His Word, telling others about His love, behaving like an obedient, loving Christian, thinking about our blessings, enjoying His creation, and trusting Him with our relationships.

Your Turn
Now that we’re all equipped with the knowledge we need in order to be fully thankful, let’s put that knowledge to use and make this year the best Thanksgiving yet; not because of the food, or even because of the company, but because we’re Christians, and no matter what happens in our lives, the fact doesn’t change that, thanks to Jesus Christ, every one of us has the chance to spend eternity with Him in heaven. All we have to do is choose to obey.
Thinking Gratitude,
