In the scripture it says that we should be thankful in all situations…and that being thankful IS GOD’S WILL!
Philippians 4:6-7 God says, “Hey, instead of worrying about everything…why not spend some time thanking me?”
I’ve noticed that if I spend more and more time thanking God for all He has done that I am less likely to worry about all that He is doing because, through thanksgiving, I understand that HE IS FAITHFUL!

We usually are thankful for great big things. We are thankful for a big house, a big car, a big diamond, or a long vacation. But even if we don’t have any of those things, there are many little things we can be thankful for throughout the day that we can be thankfull for…
Over the past week or two I’ve been think about how much I have to be thankfull for in my life….Even in the midst of the biggest strom/trial I’ve ever been in; I can still be thankful
