Are you thankful or are you full of complaints? In this article, I really want to inspire you to be more thankful, and give you reasons why. But first I’ll give you a Bible verse that commands you to be thankful. It’s God’s idea; He wants to bless you. Can you think of others?

1 Thessalonians 5:18 says, “In all things give thanks, for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.” (KJV)

There is another verse that let us know, it’s a good thing to give thanks to the Lord.
