“Everything we do should be a result of our gratitude for what God has done for us.” Lauryn Hill

Thanks- Giving: those two words go so well together. We should express our gratitude, not hold it in. And what better way to show how thankful you are than to give to others. Reaching out to help, even when you have your own troubles, is a high form of praise and worship. Like the gospel song says, let “Everyday be a day of Thanksgiving!”
