The Word of God instructs us to give thanks in everything because it is His will for us. Is that an easy task? Certainly not, but we can be confident that if we put our trust in Him, we are able to do it. He causes all things to work for our good, so even when we do not understand we can still give thanks. Thanksgiving changes our perspective as we learn to appreciate even the small things in our lives. It is a habit that must be nurtured. It’s not automatic as we are more prone to focus on the negatives than on the positives. Let us CHOOSE to be thankful today.

On this Thankful Thursday, I am thankful that I am in good health. I am not in pain, I can walk, talk, see, hear, smell and feel. I am clothed in my right mind. I am blessed beyond measure.

As you go through the day, meditate on the words of this song.

Shalom!
