Gratitude For What You Are in Christ

    As we have worked to increase our FEELING of gratitude and EXPRESSING gratitude to God, we have found wonderful words to describe God in our thoughts and prayers, multiple reasons to be continually thankful to God, and today I would like you to take time to truly think on these things:

Through Christ, YOU ARE:

 “’Sing praise to the LORD, you saints of His, and give thanks at the remembrance of His holy name…  O LORD my God, I will give thanks to You forever.” (Psalm 30:4, 12 NKJV)
