Recently I shared a meal with friends where each person wrote anonymously on a card something for which they were most thankful and dropped it into a box. After the meal the box was passed around for each person to pick a card and read aloud what was written on it.
The busyness of life tends to push out of our mind what God did to demonstrate his great love for all people. We as people must take time to remember so we can come near to the God of all creation and be renewed with gratitude for his gift of salvation. For God so loved us that he gave Jesus to die on the cross as a sacrifice for our sins.
So at this moment think of one blessing that has kept you faithful and true to Christ throughout all the tribulations you’ve experienced. Don’t hesitate to voice to God what comes to mind so it will not be lost by the rush of the day. Voicing feelings of gratitude is a witness to the goodness and love of God.

Praise the Lord! Oh give thanks to the Lord, for he is good;
for his mercy and lovingkindness endure forever! Who can put into words the
mighty deeds of the Lord? Or who can proclaim all the praise [that is due him]?
