Giving Thanks in All Things

I realized throughout all this that I've been remiss in doing something I know is important.  I have not been listing my thankful thoughts for each day.  I have been giving thanks, but it's been more in the moment and not intentional.  Most of you know how important maintaining an attitude of gratitude and giving thanks regularly is to me.  For those who don't, check out my previous blogs about it.

Giving thanks and looking for the blessings in EVERY situation is so important.  I will be listing thankful thoughts every day.  But, they will only be on one post per day.  Join me in listing what you are thankful for each day.  Remember, when there is thankfulness and peace in your heart, there is no room for anger, worry, fear, and other negative feelings.

"Thank God no matter what happens.   This is how God wants you who belong to Jesus Christ to live."
                                                                             --I Thessalonians 5:18 (MSG)
