Why give thanks?
.
Well,  thanksgiving is a month away.....our country as well as others celebrate a day of thanksgiving, originally thanking God for His provision for helping the pilgrims get through their new life in a new country with the help of the native Americans .

But, it seems we have gotten a long way from that...or just a long way from being thankful at all.   So here are some verses, taken one by one to give thanks, many repeating "for His love endures forever"....but isn't that worth repeating??
Can you imagine being a person who was designated "just " to give thanks to The Lord as some were?   ...in all things....for all things....for those around us...

We have a lot for which to be thankful....so thank on....
