Hi Peace Family! As we celebrate this wonderful holiday and think about all the things we are grateful for and thankful for, we want to include YOU! We love family here at Peace 107 and we think of you as our family. So when Thanksgiving comes, of course we think of you. Whether you will be surrounded by family (or friends that have become like family) this year, volunteering somewhere, or spending it alone, I hope you will keep in your heart a spirit of thankfulness for all the blessings and good things in your life.
Even in the midst of trying circumstances and things in your life that can’t just be fixed, there is still the goodness of God and you can see His hand of guidance in your life. Here are some examples of maintaining a thankful heart. This list was put together by Jarrid Wilson:
Here are 20 Bible verses on being thankful:
Give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.
2. Psalm 107:1
Oh give thanks to the Lord, for he is good, for his steadfast love endures forever!
Giving thanks always and for everything to God the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ,
And let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to which indeed you were called in one body. And be thankful. Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly, teaching and admonishing one another in all wisdom, singing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, with thankfulness in your hearts to God. And whatever you do, in word or deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.
5. James 1:17
Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights with whom there is no variation or shadow due to change.
Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God.
Thanks be to God for his inexpressible gift!
