  • Give Thanks in all Circumstances

    “Give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.”

    – 1 Thessalonians 5:18

  • Gratitude. Prayer of Thanks

    Gratitude is an essential principle of prayer, as German theologian Master Eckhart reminds us:‍

    “If the only prayer you ever say in your whole life is ‘thank you’ that would suffice.”

    — Meister Eckhart

  • Grace and Gratitude

    This painting was in my Grandparents house as a kid and I loved it. It means so much to me.


    I wanted to understand the background of it and I found out it’s called “Grace”. It was originally a photo taken by Swedish-American photographer Eric Enstrom then became an oil painting then color added by his Daughter later. All of this began around 1918 during WW1 and was meant to show gratitude.

    This piece of artwork was and is meant to say we still have so much to be thankful for.

    We need to Thank God today and give thanks for all He has done so far in our lives.

  • Remember to Thank God

    I have to stop myself every so often when I Pray and remember to just give thanks to God…simply give thanks for all He has done, all He’s gotten me thru, all His many blessings in my life.

    So many times we get caught up in asking for help, asking for guidance, direction, protection, and more yet we forget to be appreciative. We forgot to say a simple Thank You God.

    Thank you God for all you’ve done, are doing, and continue to do in my life. I love You God. Amen.

  • Rejoice, Pray, Give Thanks

    “Rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.”

    – 1 Thessalonians 5 : 16-18
