Why is it important to be thankful? Being thankful is a response to having received a benefit. When we are thankful, we are thankful for something, about something, or because of something. We can describe what we are thankful for, about, or because.

Being thankful is both an act and an attitude. The act of thanking makes both the giver of thanks and the receiver of thanks feel good. This is very positive. This is true from person to person, the giver of thanks and the receiver of thanks. The act of giving thanks is a relational act. Relationships are built, developed, and maintained. Being thankful is an acknowledgment to the receiver of the being appreciated.

Being thankful is an expectation of God from mankind. God’s creation is the place where we all exist. God provided the gift of life in the creation of each person. He has provided salvation through the gift of His only begotten Son. The Lord continues to give by providing blessings to all. For this I am thankful and everyone should be.

In Be Ye Thankful we will explore what the Scriptures say about God’s creation, His provisions for His children, and His commitment, plans, and promises. This book will lead the reader into the wonders of God for which we are thankful.

Be Ye Thankful is also available as an audiobook.
