Thankfulness Is An Initiator of Joy To Our Hearts

Many important people and many sources of wisdom speak of the value of gratitude.

For example, the masterful thinker and writer, G.K. Chesterton, put it this way, “I would maintain that thanks are the highest form of thought, and that gratitude is happiness doubled by wonder.”

It is good for our souls to be thankful. Thankfulness is actually an initiator of joy to our 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.” Colossians 3:17


I am thankful for the opportunity to gather freely with my brothers and sisters in Christ today and give praise to the One who is worthy of all honor.
