“And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to which also you were called in one body; and be thankful.” (Colossians 3:15, NKJV)
The word we translate as “thanks” is used more than 40 times in the New Testament. (And that does not include variants of that word, such as “thanksgiving,” and “gratitude.”)
We have so much for which to be thankful, but we are often without gratitude. I wonder whether it is because we choose to focus on the few things we lack; instead of the many things God has given us, which are already in our possession.
As a nation, one day in November is set-aside for giving thanks. As children of the living God, every day should be “Thanksgiving Day.” – Luther
