“Give thanks in all circumstances…”

Give Thanks - 1 Thessalonians 5:18 - Verse Image

What Are You Thankful For?

Studies have shown that people who practice gratitude report experiencing more joy, express more compassion and generosity, and are even less likely to get sick.¹ But how do you nurture a spirit of thankfulness when busy-ness distracts you from the joy around you?

Here’s an easy way to remember to give thanks: Start a Plan on gratefulness from our special collection of devotionals. Plans feed you a little Scripture every day, giving you time to reflect, recharge, and hear from God.
