In Everything Give thanks......

"in everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you."

 (I Thessalonians 5:18)

God says that giving thanks is His will! I wanted to briefly highlight some scriptures about the importance of giving thanks! With a thankful heart, our perspective becomes healthier and we become less self-focused and more God-focused!
