Happy Thanksgiving 2019!
Wishing You A Happy Thanksgiving 2019
May your day be filled with joy, but even more importantly, gratitude for the One Who gave His own life so that you could have Eternal Life.
Gratitude = Praise
How would you describe gratitude?
Saying thanks
Appreciating all of God’s blessings
A thankful heart is one of the primary identifying characteristics of a believer. It stands in stark contrast to pride, selfishness, and worry. And it helps fortify the believer’s trust in the Lord and reliance of His provision, even in the toughest times. No matter how choppy the seas become, a believer’s heart is buoyed by constant praise and gratefulness to the Lord.1 – John MacArthur, Pastor and Bible Teacher, Grace To You.
A.W Tozer offers another great description of gratitude here.
Gratitude is an offering precious in the sight of God, and it is one that the poorest of us can make and be not poorer, but richer for having made it.2 – A.W. Tozer, Christian theologian and author.
As we close out another year, I wanted to take this opportunity to say that I am deeply thankful to all of you who have visited my blog posts over the years. I have watched the number of visitors grow over time, more than I could have imagined.
All glory to God forever!
