Good day, good people! This is the day that the Lord has made; never forget that. Regardless of what you face in the morning, afternoon, or evening, this day to you and me is a gift, so let’s cherish it.

So we are going to use our Fridays to give thanks to God. Five days is a lot for various things to happen, both good and bad, hard and easy, but at the end of it, we want to say, Thank you, God.
1 Thessalonians 5:18 (ESV): “Give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.”
In Christ Jesus, giving thanks should be a way of life. We shouldn’t struggle to show thankfulness; people must know that you are always ready to express appreciation. They must not doubt that you will return kindness.
I know that in some circumstances it is easier to say it than to do it, but as I mentioned, this should be our way of life, not something we do only in certain situations. That’s why Paul told the Thessalonians that “in all circumstances…”
