Eph 5:20
(KJVA)
Giving thanks always for all things unto God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ;

The art of thanksgiving is thanksliving. It is gratitude in action. It is thanking God for the gift of life by living it triumphantly. It is thanking God for your talents and abilities by accepting them as obligations to be invested for the common good. It is thanking God for all that men and women have done for you by doing things for others. It is thanking God for happiness by striving to make others happy. It is thanking God for beauty by helping to make the world more beautiful. It is thanking God for inspiration by trying to be an inspiration to others. It is thanking God for health and strength by the care and respect you show your body. We have so much to be thankful for, so let’s be grateful for all He has done in and through us. We can be grateful for what we do have and not focus on what we think we don’t have.
