Give Thanks

I just did a quick search on biblegateway.com for "give thanks." I had no idea how many times these two words are found together in the Bible and I wanted to know (hello, it's Thanksgiving tomorrow!). I was surprised to find 48 references! And "thanksgiving"? Well that's mentioned 30 times. The simple word "thanks" is written 100+ times. I'm not even scratching the surface of gratitude, grateful, thankful, and any other word that comes close to thanks.


We're planning to spend lots of time counting our blessings this week/weekend. We get to have quality time with both families... who we're very thankful for. Hoping you all have time to thank God for all He's done for you this year and for all that is to come. We serve such an amazing God.

Rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus. (1 Thessalonians 5:16-18)
