Be Thankful From the Bottom of Your Heart

First of all, I would like to thank my Papa and my Mama :)

I love these songs by Psalty the Singing Songbook:

“Be thankful for all He has done, be thankful from the bottom of your heart!” I can’t remember the exact lyrics (please help me out whoever knows the lyrics)

There are so many things to be thankful for, isn’t it? In  fact, the word THANKFUL is mentioned seven times in the Bible!

We look up and see the beautiful sky Isn’t that enough to be thankful for?

“In everything give thanks, in every situation, lift your voice and sing, and praise Him from from your heart!” Here is a link to the song :)

Beautiful flowers make the world more colorful, don’t they?

Our life’s experiences are something to be thankful about, be these good or not good because when we look at how things have been, we learn lessons that guide us in other challenges that come our way which also help us appreciate things better

Most of all, we are thankful for our family, their love and support as well as hugs and kisses are blessings we should be thankful for :)

The word “thankful” is mentioned only seven times in the Bible??? Now you’ve got me wondering how many times “grateful” and “blessed” are!

Like mine (except mine are obviously much older).

If only for them, we can go down on our knees each day saying thank you.
