With Thanksgiving just around the corner, now is the time of year to remember the things for which we are grateful for—not just today, but every day. Having a spirit of contentment and gratitude is a powerful tool because it can affect every aspect of our lives and remind us of God’s will for us to find joy in everyday life. Unfortunately, we are often too easily lured to envy or dissatisfaction within our lives.
With the draw of social media sites, even the best of us may start comparing our lives to others. Our thoughts can crowd our thankfulness from what we have to what we wish we had. By focusing on what we are blessed with, we can gain joy and gratitude.
Psalm 86:12 tells us, “I give thanks to you, O Lord my God, with my whole heart, and I will glorify your name forever.” There are a number of Christian books on gratitude and thankfulness that help us better understand what it means to appreciate all that we do have. Have a blessed Thanksgiving.
