It’s that time of the year when we pause from all we do to give thanks. Even though expressing gratitude should be a daily habit, we take this time each year to acknowledge the blessings in our lives. For many of us we might not feel like there is much to be thankful for, but your first breath of fresh air each morning is enough reason to give thanks. In fact the Bible says that we should give thanks no matter the situation. It went further to say “for this is the will of God in christ concerning you.”
In every thing give thanks, for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.
1 Thessalonians 5:18
In this Blog post I want to share with you 25 quotes about giving thanks that I am sure will empower you to be a better thanks giver.
