In All Things Give Thanks

by Badger_29


"I am grateful for what I am and have. My thanksgiving is perpetual" Henry David Thoreau

 
November, a time
we give thanks for everything 
we should be grateful
~+~
In all things give thanks
for this is the will of God
through His Son, Jesus
~+~
If you are thankful
it will bring stability
and more abundance
~+~
Being grateful now
causes more gratitude then
when your ship comes in
~+~
Luxuriousness
can certainly be a attained
without wealth or things
~+~
good measure, pressed down,
and shaken together, and 
running over all
~+~
this is what you get
when you give unto others
 with a cheerful heart
~+~
Scripture is given
by divine inspiration
is profitable
~+~
For reproof,
doctrine teaching and also
edification
~+~
Saints are edified
through fellowship, reading and
hearing of The Word
~+~
The Word is as sharp
as a two-edged sword, able
to separate the
~+~
bone from the marrow
and the soul from the spirit
so don't cut yourself

The saying
"When my ship comes in",
comes from the early days when the United States was first settled. An individual or group would get together and invest in a ship and there was a good chance that it would not arrive with their goods so when it did return it was a good fortune And if you start out by being thankful then when it's officially good things happen you will be even more grateful!

Relevant Scripture
l Thessalonians
5:18 In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.
ll Timothy
3:16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:
Hebrews
4:12 For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.
Luke 6:38 Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again.

Won't you join me in being grateful all year round?

Blessings,

Brother Badger Cull
