Thankfulness is spiritual cardio and an indication of our spiritual health. Today we are reminded of all we have to be thankful for.

Thankful

Thankful always? Thankful for everything? Giving thanks in all circumstances? Who is possibly cut out for this?

Give thanks in every circumstance, for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.  1 Thessalonians 5:18

giving thanks at all times for all things in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ to the God and Father.  Ephesians 5:20

Thankfulness a feeling, an emotion and affection in the heart, that rises spontaneously in response to receiving something that will increase our enjoyment of Christ.

Thanksgiving is an essential daily practice for us all. It is evidence of our soul’s well-being. As Spurgeon said, “Thanksgiving is one of the best ways to keep yourselves in spiritual health.”

Thanksgiving is spiritual cardio.

To lose gratitude is to lose spiritual vibrance.
