Choosing an Attitude of Thankfulness

Being thankful throughout our day and during hard seasons is a truly difficult thing. But the fruit it brings is worth it. We briefly talk about the effect that thankfulness has on our lives and simple ways to begin practicing it even today.

Links and Quotes From This Episode

“Thanksgiving Day comes, by statute, once a year; BUT to the honest man it comes as frequently as the heart of gratitude will allow.” – Edward Sandford Martin

“Be joyful always; pray continually; give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.” (1 Thessalonians 5: 16-18)
