Thanks and Giving

Share Now

The week of Thanksgiving is a good time to put into practice this piece of advice I read recently:

Let our lives be full of both thanks and giving.

I love that. Being a thankful person and being a giving person—what a beautiful way to live life. What wonderful character traits to teach our children:

Give thanks.

Oh, give thanks to the Lord, for He is good,
For His lovingkindness is everlasting.
Psalm 107:1

Be thankful.

Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts,
to which indeed you were called in one body;
and be thankful.
Colossians 3:15

Have an attitude of thanksgiving.

Devote yourselves to prayer,
keeping alert in it
with an attitude of thanksgiving . . .
Colossians 4:2

Share.

And do not neglect doing good and sharing,
for with such sacrifices God is pleased.
Hebrews 13:16

Give generously.

He who is generous will be blessed,
For he gives some of his food to the poor.
Proverbs 22:9

Give freely—and in response to God’s generosity to us.

Freely you received, freely give.
Matthew 10:8b
