Make thanksgiving a way of life and not just an annual event. Make thanksgiving a part of everyday of your life. Look around you; there are many persons to whom you can say thank you. Keep up the habit of thanksgiving until it flows from your heart as a genuine gratitude. Cultivate a heart of overflowing gratitude to the Lord for His manifold blessings. Gratitude as a way of life will make your burdens lighter and your problems less overwhelming.
“Rejoice always; pray without ceasing; in everything give thanks; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.” 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 (NASB)
