When you sincerely say, &#8220;thank you,&#8221; something within you moves that cannot be purchased with money. Similarly, God loves a child who turns back to give thanks for His goodness. I would like you to seek out ways to express thanks \u2014 to those who have blessed you in life&#8217;s journey \u2014 and to say thank you effectively. A grateful note, a timely present, or a public expression of appreciation can minister grace you can hardly fully gauge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Countries celebrate thanksgiving days; churches ought to purposefully thank their pastors; families also need to designate regular times to give thanks. Create a family thanksgiving day \u2014 an altar where you give an account of the year&#8217;s blessings and enumerate them one at a time. We have at the Dream Centre the last Sunday of every year set apart to utter &#8220;Thank You&#8221; to God for all He has done. Create your own rhythms: weekly reviews of thanksgiving, testimony journals, and prompt thanksgiving to those whom God employed to raise your hands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>Gratitude magnifies what matters and protects your heart against entitlement.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Do not raise children to trivialise your God. Teach them that all the things that were done for them \u2014 school fees, shelter, advice, discipline \u2014 were made possible because God assisted you. Many children of spiritual giants secularise because they make sacred things seem casual. Insist gently and persistently that they acquire the vocabulary of thanksgiving \u2014 to God first, and then to men. If they learn gratitude early, they will bring honour into the future. I want you to demonstrate it to them first, demand it from them, and praise it when you observe it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>THOUGHT TO PONDER:<\/strong> Who needs to hear a sincere \u201cthank you\u201d from me today, and how will I express it? What thanksgiving rhythms will I institute in my home, so the next generation learns to honour God?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote quote-simple is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><strong>Father, train my heart to be thankful in all things.
