At all times, on all occasions give thanks. Easier said than done, right? In Eph 5:20 NIV we read; “always giving thanks to God the Father for everything, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.” We may not always express our thankfulness but we can still live with the posture of a grateful heart.

This picture reminds me of Thanksgiving. How many of you sit gathered around the table expressing what your thankful for on Thanksgiving? It was a family tradition in my house growing up. We have exactly 4 weeks till we celebrate Thanksgiving. Over these next few weeks, I encourage us all to start thinking and writing down what we are thankful for. It may be an abundant list collected over the last year or it may be a dwindled list gleaning from the previous years.

For today I encourage us all to go about our day with the posture of a grateful heart! To be intentional about finding Joy and gratitude in the everyday grand and mundane tasks.
