We must live a life of thanksgiving in all circumstances as the people who have received God’s endless grace. Psalm 50:23 says, “He who sacrifices thank offerings honors me, and he prepares the way so that I may show him the salvation of God.” We honor God through thanksgiving. Thanksgiving makes life healthy and happy.
