Having an attitude of gratitude is good for us. It helps our relationships, improves our mental health, and even helps us sleep better. The Bible also shows that being grateful to God helps us have peace of mind. God wants what is good for us, and that includes a grateful attitude. We, in God’s church, have much to be thankful for including our blessings, our calling, our brethren, His coming kingdom, and the ability to persevere. We should always be thankful to God for all the ways He has blessed us.
