Parents and Kids Daily Devotional "Abundant Joy"Sample

THANK YOU!

Two simple words but powerful. The word “thank you” shows a grateful and joyful heart. Words that express sincerity and appreciation to what we have received.

The question is, how often do we say it to God and others around us? Sometimes we don’t say it because we feel that it’s the other people, or even God’s, responsibility to do so. Well, actually, they can choose not to say it.

Saying “thank you” should be a habit that we practice often. No matter how small, saying “thank you” shows that we acknowledge the blessing and God’s goodness and faithfulness in our lives.

Have you said your “thank you” today?
