THANKSGIVING MESSAGE
 DEVELOPING A GRATEFUL HEART

“Oh give thanks to the Lord, for he is good; for his steadfast love endures forever!”
–1 Chronicles 16:34

“And do not get drunk with wine, for that is debauchery, but be filled with the Spirit, addressing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody to the Lord with your heart, giving thanks always and for everything to God the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.”
–Ephesians 5:18-20

Everything good in your life comes from God (James 1:17).
