We show you the list with Bible Verses on Thanksgiving, so you can keep your faith active and remember that God asks us to be brave and also grateful with his blessings. Be inspired by these messages of thanksgiving and love in the bible.
Thanksgiving is a term that means “gratitude” and “praise“. The Bible stresses the importance of maintaining a spirit of thankfulness. Having a general attitude of gratitude during life’s trials and rewards not only distinguishes a Christian, but also makes you the person God expects you to be. Practicing gratitude increases dopamine levels in the brain (the chemical that makes you feel good) and stimulates your brain to seek more of the same. So, being thankful not only makes us better Christians, it helps us feel better about ourselves; remember that God also sends us to be happy.
