Thank you Father that you are good, and that your mercy is everlasting. (Psalm 100:5).

I thank you Father that you give good things to those who ask You!

“Thankfulness is not something God gives us.
It is not a spiritual gift and it is not a spiritual fruit.
We can receive God’s peace, joy and love,
but thankfulness is something that we give to God and to others.
It is a choice that we make.
Let us thank Him today with songs of celebration,
hearts of strong devotion and acts of admiration.”
