Practicing Gratitude

Greetings to all; on this "grateful" Thursday, let us thank God with a heart of gratitude as we silently give from what we have.

Whether rich or poor, we can practice gratitude for what God has given us. Mark and Luke provide the account of a great lesson Jesus taught His disciples then and for us now when it comes to silently practicing gratitude.

Mark 12:44 (GW)

44 All of them have given what they could spare. But she, in her poverty, has given everything she had to live on."

Luke 21:4 (NLT)

4 For they have given a tiny part of their surplus, but she, poor as she is, has given everything she has."

Lesson: When it comes to expressing our gratitude to God, it is not about the show. The rich give out of their abundance, and the poor give out of their poverty.
