THANKSGIVING BLESSINGS

 

Enter into His gates with thanksgiving,

and into His courts with praise:

be thankful unto him, and bless His name.

Psalm 100:4

Every day for us should be a day of thanksgiving. There shouldn't be just one day that's singled out for that purpose. As Christians, we know that God is just too wonderful to be explained and finding words to thank and praise Him is so insufficient for our limited vocabularies. I just decided to look up some attributes of God using the word “thanksgiving” as sort of an acrostic. Perhaps you too, like me can be so grateful for these traits of God that He is so gracious in pouring into our lives. This list by no means is exhaustive nor put in order of importance. There are so many more we could use and you may think of some as you read. I hope this will be a tool for us to just focus on Him and His faithfulness in our lives.
