Thanksgiving multiplies. When we don’t have enough, or are lacking something, our first instinct is usually to complain or grumble. God does not like grumbling.

Thanksgiving preserves and perfects/

Praise Him for the pruning.

Let all that you are, praise the Lord

Hosanna in the highest!

Count your blessings, name them one by one, and it will surprise you what the Lord has done.

Praise him for the promise!

A garment of praise for the spirit of despair.
