Thankfulness in the Presence of God!

“Enter into His gates with thanksgiving, and into His courts with praise: be thankful unto Him, and bless His name.”

~ Psalm 100.4

Fleming Rutledge on a Life of Thankfulness

“The life of thankfulness — biblically speaking — is lived in view of the hard things of existence. As the life of thanksgiving deepens, we discover that the more mature prayers of thanksgiving are not those offered for the obvious blessings, but those spoken in gratitude for obstacles overcome, for insights gained, for lessons learned, for increased humility, for help received in time of need, for strength to persevere, for opportunities to serve others.”
