Give Thanks!

I’m guilty…of not always remembering to give thanks to God. So many times I’ve asked Him for wisdom, strength, and grace. He’s answered me over and over again—and I’ve become distracted and forgot to give thanks for all of His goodness to me. If we are ever having a bad day, we can always come out of our slump by giving thanks:
