SCRIPTURE:
2Corin 9:15. “Thanks be unto God for His Unspeakable gift.”
Thanksgiving seems like the appropriate time to reflect on all the things we are thankful for. We're reminded in scripture again and again about God's Goodness. When we are truly grateful for God's Power at work in us and God's gift of life, we cannot contain our joy. From this thankfulness comes an outpouring of gratitude that is contagious, infectious and life-giving to those around us. We're not joyful and then become grateful. We're grateful and that makes us Joyful. How do you Express Thanks? This Joy, an outgrowth of our gratitude, also inspires us to act and to utter in words or in deed, two very Powerful words "THANK YOU", Knowing exactly how to express those two words can be unique to each situation and to each person. How to show Gratitude with Quality time: Rather than giving a store-bought present to show Gratitude, offer the gift of your time. Quality time can be expressed in a conversation over a cup of coffee, where you really take time to listen and dig beneath the surface. Thankfulness can also be conveyed through time spent enjoying an activity together. The emphasis is not on what you are doing but on why you are doing it. How to Express Gratitude with words: showing appreciation for someone can also be expressed through words of affirmation and encouragement whether written in a card or expressed verbally. The dialect of affirmation has the power to restore and Build relationship. Whether you show your gratitude through a hug, a gift, quality time, encouraging words or service, learning someone's primary Love Language is an incredible way to Say "Thanks".PRAYER POINTS
Precious Father and Redeemer, Thanks for all You have done from the beginning of the year. Thank You Father, for the forgiveness of my sins. I decree that the voice of thanksgiving will not depart from my mouth. Christlike Assembly Family shall live to Praise You Amen.
