LIVE WELL IN COMMUNITY - Be Thankful to God

The second direction in the text of Ephesians 5: 18-21 for living well in community is:

• Giving thanks always and for everything to God the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ,

Contentment with what God gives us leads to gratitude, and God is pleased when we are thankful for all things. My wise paternal grandmother often says that gratitude is the memory of the heart.

When we are grateful to God, we always remember in our hearts the benefits that He has given us. When we are appreciative of each other, we reinforce the value of gratitude.

When we share our gratitude to God with others, we glorify His name, and this is a testimony for others to come to know the God of wonders in whom we believe and serve.

Glorify God through your thanksgiving. Just as kindness breeds kindness, gratitude breeds gratitude and makes life much better!

Let's pray? Lord God, how grateful I am to You for everything. The Lord presents me with life and still teaches me how to live it well. I want to make the most of the time that the Lord gives me on earth, always with my heart grateful, because great things the Lord does for me! I praise you, Lord. In the name of Jesus, amen.
