With all the attention on turkeys, family, and football, do you leave space for praise in this season? For Christian, the act of giving thanks should not be practiced only on Thanksgiving. As devotees, our lives ought to mirror a disposition of thanks and appreciation each and every day through the great times and the awful.
While you're planning this season's celebrations, remind yourself of Jesus Christ who has given us tremendous motivation to be appreciative.
Ezra 3:11
With praise and thanksgiving they sang to the Lord:“He is good;
his love toward Israel endures forever.”
And all the people gave a great shout of praise to the Lord, because the foundation of the house of the Lord was laid.
Psalm 95:1-3
Come, let us sing for joy to the Lord;let us shout aloud to the Rock of our salvation.
Let us come before him with thanksgiving
and extol him with music and song.
For the Lord is the great God,
the great King above all gods.
Psalm 100:4-5
Enter his gates with thanksgivingand his courts with praise;
give thanks to him and praise his name.
For the Lord is good and his love endures forever;
his faithfulness continues through all generations.
Psalm 107:21-22
Let them give thanks to the Lord for his unfailing loveand his wonderful deeds for mankind.
Let them sacrifice thank offerings
and tell of his works with songs of joy.
13. Ephesians 5:18-20
Do not get drunk on wine, which leads to debauchery. Instead, be filled with the Spirit, speaking to one another with psalms, hymns, and songs from the Spirit. Sing and make music from your heart to the Lord, always giving thanks to God the Father for everything, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.
14. Philippians 4:6-7
Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

Colossians 3:15-17
Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace. And be thankful. Let the message of Christ dwell among you richly as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom through psalms, hymns, and songs from the Spirit, singing to God with gratitude in your hearts. And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.
Hope this season is filled with lots of happiness, joy and wealth.
