Please tweet a verse of thanksgiving & praise to your Twitter followers before you go.
I hope that at some point during the day we are intentional about taking time to reflect on our many blessings and the goodness of God.
This day is special not only because of the wonderful food we all enjoy, or the lovely fall decorations, or even who we spend it with. The day is special because this season is so rooted in gratitude and giving thanks. What better time to meditate on some meaningful thanksgiving and praise Scripture from God's Word?
After we’ve caught up with family and friends, treated ourselves to an extra helping of pumpkin pie (and another cup of coffee of course), maybe even cheered on our favorite college football team and watching the lighting of that big Christmas tree in town, let's consider ending the day meditating on a few of these passages of Scripture about thanksgiving and praise. I hope you will.
“And now we thank You, Our God, and praise Your glorious name.” 1 Chronicles 29:13 “I will praise the name of God with a song; I will magnify Him with thanksgiving.” Psalm 69:30 “Out of them shall come songs of thanksgiving, and the voices of those who celebrate. I will multiply them, and they shall not be few; I will make them honored, and they shall not be small.” Jeremiah 30:19 “You will be enriched in every way so that you can be generous on every occasion, and through us your generosity will result in thanksgiving to God.” 2 Corinthians 9:11

A wonderful collection! I'm thinking of making a list like this and trying to read and pray one verse a day.

Our church had a wonderful service of praise and thanksgiving last Sunday. I'm still thinking about it, so I appreciate seeing your list of scriptures here too as another reminder to live in an attitude of gratitude for all God has done and is doing now.

Oh, how I wish our church was having one this year! I miss the days when we used to. They are so special and it's nice to reflect corporately on the goodness of God.
