We give thanks daily for small deeds done for us. But the thanks we give to God comes from a deeper well of gratitude. It begins from the heart. We understand without Him we would not exist. Without Him we would be eternally lost. With Him we have life.
Thanks is translated from the Greek word “eucharistia”. It indicates grateful language. But it is again more than words. It involves our soul being grateful as well. Mere words are not thanks in the truest sense. Thanksgiving to God always begins in the heart and is communicated through words and action. A thankful life will in turn do deeds for others.

Thank You God for Your Word that we can know you better
Thank You Jesus for dying for me and taking my place
Thank You Jesus for giving me eternal life
Thank you Jesus for taking sickness for me
Thank You Holy Spirit for living in me
Thank You Holy Spirit for guiding and comforting me
Thank You for family and friends and my pastor and church
Thank You, thank You, thank You!
For what or for whom do you give thanks?
