Give Thanks



Thank God for coffee! - a routine thought on an early morning after a late meeting the previous evening. Thank God! - a sigh from the depth of our soul when we hear good news after a night of uncertainty. Thank you - a note we write after receiving a gift. Thanks - a quick word tossed over our shoulder to the stranger who held the door for you.

We offer thanks and gratitude for little and large things. We use the words, “Thank you,” perhaps just out of routine.

In this week where our whole nation spends a bit more time focusing on giving thanks, take some time to find the meaning behind those simple words.

  • Take a minute to list five things you are grateful for today.
  • Take a minute to thank God for the people you are blessed to know.
  • Take a minute to thank God for the physical blessings in your life, such as your home, work, and belongings.
  • Take a moment to thank God for the encounters you had with God in the past week.
  • Take a moment to thank God for the immeasurable love God has for you.
