A Grateful Heart at All Times

In this season of Thanksgiving, the world pauses for a moment to give thanks for the blessings received. But as sons and daughters of God, gratitude should not be just a date on the calendar — it should be a way of life.

The Bible teaches us:

“Give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.”— 1 Thessalonians 5:18

Sometimes we give thanks when everything is going well — when there is abundance, health, or joy. But a truly grateful heart also remains firm in difficult days, knowing that God is still good and that His plan is perfect, even when we don’t fully understand it.

🌾 Gratitude Transforms the Heart

When we learn to give thanks, something changes within us. Complaints turn into worship, worry turns into trust, and sadness turns into hope.Gratitude reminds us that every day is a gift, and that even in trials, God is working for our good.

🕊 Thanksgiving with Purpose

This year, I encourage you to do something different:• Write a list of things you are thankful for — even the smallest ones.• Take a moment to thank God in prayer.• Express gratitude to someone who has been a blessing in your life.

💛 Prayer of Gratitude

Lord, thank You for Your faithfulness.Thank You for sunny days and rainy days,for what I understand and for what I do not yet comprehend.Teach me to live with a grateful heart,remembering that every breath is a sign of Your love.Amen. Pastora
