Give thanks always

Every Thanksgiving we take a few moments to pray around the table and give thanks to God.
But what about the other 364 days every year....

We are called by God to thank and praise him for his many blessings every day. Yet we take the
daily blessings for granite.


Col 2:6-8

6 So then, just as you received Christ Jesus as Lord, continue to live in him, 7 rooted and built up in him, strengthened in the faith as you were taught, and overflowing with thankfulness.

God tells us in his word, how he expects us to live... and whatever he expects we should strive to complete. We need to rejoice in his Love for us and not be anxious.

Phil 4:4-7

4 Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! 5 Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near. 6 Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. 7 And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.


Do not take your salvation lightly, because it came at a heavy price. Be thankful he sent his son to take our place. We can never repay the price of salvation. It is a free gift from God.

1 Peter 1:17-21

17 Since you call on a Father who judges each man's work impartially, live your lives as strangers here in reverent fear. 18 For you know that it was not with perishable things such as silver or gold that you were redeemed from the empty way of life handed down to you from your forefathers, 19 but with the precious blood of Christ, a lamb without blemish or defect. 20 He was chosen before the creation of the world, but was revealed in these last times for your sake. 21 Through him you believe in God, who raised him from the dead and glorified him, and so your faith and hope are in God.

Next time you see the cross..... remember the precious life that died so you may have the eternal Hope of salvation.

Thank you Lord for true love and the moments that we share. These are the true blessings that we enjoy but never realize until it is to late. Thank you God for each day and each moment.















1 Thess 5:16-18

16 Be joyful always; 17 pray continually; 18 give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus.
