Our Duty to Give Thanks

Reposting a 2023 blog I wrote where I share the importance of offering thanks to God, some gems about giving thanks from St. Paul, and the 4 ways in which I felt God calling me to give thanks at Thanksgiving time! It's such a good reminder for me. Happy Thanksgiving!

Giving Thanks in All Things

We are called to give thanks both for the blessings we can see and for God's glory in the ways we cannot see it. God is bigger than what we can understand , and His glory and love for us are not dependent on circumstances.
