30 Days of Thanksgiving

In November, we often turn our thoughts to Thanksgiving. Thanksgiving however, is not just a date on the calendar, it is a condition of the heart.
Why is it that we often have to search our minds to come up with something to say when asked what we are grateful for? We have so much to be grateful for!
I have written some references down that evoke gratefulness in my heart. I want to share some of the references with you. Below you will find one verse for each day in November. My hope and prayer is that they will inspire your heart to a deeper level of appreciation of our Redeemer, Jesus Christ. Notice how many times the words "through Christ" or "in Christ" appear in the verses below. You might want to take out your Bible and start marking those words "through Christ" and "in Christ". What a treasure God has given us in Jesus Christ.
