How to be Thankful

Thankfulness is not an occasional act but a lifestyle of intentional and spontaneous appreciation that leads us into the presence of God, empowers us to be grateful in all circumstances, and generates an overflow of generosity.

Thankfulness leads us into the presence of God, but ungratefulness always leads us away from God. We can develop a lifestyle of thankfulness by intentionally expressing our gratitude and practicing spontaneous appreciation throughout our day. Even when we experience trials, we can give thanks for God’s presence, his understanding, and his comfort!
