Let no corrupting talk come out of your mouths, but only such as is good for building up. - Ephesians 4:29

People who are truly grateful to Jesus use their speech to heal, not harm - to lift, not tear down.

Post an encouraging comment or DM someone today to build them up!

Serve the Lord with gladness! Come into his presence with singing! - Psalm 100:2

Gratitude is joy expressed through service! Helping others honors the One who helps us.

What's a small way you can serve someone this week?

All generous giving and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights... - James 1:17 NET

We can't get proud if everything is a gift. So, gratitude grounds us in humility. Every cozy cup, warm hug, or friendly smile is a divine gift from our Lord Jesus.

The Maker's Hand

For by him all things were created, in heaven and on earth. - Colossians 1:16

Every act of creativity - everything we commit to the Lord, everything we make in thanks and a gratitude to God, and every act of love and kindness to others - mirrors the Creator's Image in us.

Beauty from Ashes

He has made everything beautiful in its time. - Ecclesiastes 3:11

Even hard seasons carry beauty. Thankfulness to God doesn't deny the pain of life, nor does it pretend the bad is good. Yet, thankfulness does hold onto hope within the pain, trusting in God's true goodness to us.

All Things Bright and Beautiful

The earth is the Lord's and the fullness thereof. - Psalm 24:1

The world around us reflects its Creator - even the smallest pawprint or falling leaf sings His praise. If the rest of creation can praise God, why don't we join in ourselves?

Give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you. - 1 Thessalonians 5:18

Gratitude isn't reserved for perfect days. Even in small, quiet moments, we can thank God for His steady love.

"Let each of you look not only to his own
interests, but also to the interests of others." -
Philippians 2:4

Did you know that joy only grows when it's shared?
When we celebrate others' victories, not only does our
joy multiply, but our gratitude toward our Lord deepens.

"Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you." - Ephesians 4:32

Gratitude often shows up through kindness. Every small act of gentleness can point someone to Jesus' love.

"Therefore encourage one another and build one another up, just as you are doing." - 1 Thessalonians 5:11

Fellowship is a gift. When we come together Christ meets us there. Every kind word, shared laugh and even every shared tear is sign of His presence among His people.
