Welcome to the weekend, and welcome to the Saturday 7.
Practicing thankfulness to God is good for us, and we are commanded to praise, give thanks, and shout our gladness to the Lord … but not just once a year. This is a spiritual practice for every day – one closely tied to generosity. This week, we share with you how deep the subject of thanksgiving goes in the Bible and provide some good reasons God might have asked this of us. Read the top story, then share the devotional at the end of this week’s edition with your family.
The habit of giving thanks is linked to greater levels of happiness as well as better mental and physical health in children. And the best part is it makes God happy too. With this devotional that kids can read with you or on their own, they can learn to practice thanksgiving to God this holiday and aim to make it a habit that lasts all year.
Scripture is a deep well of encouragement, and we provide that to each other when we share it. We asked the team that puts together Saturday 7 to share which verses help them practice thanksgiving. Read how the Word speaks to them in this thoughtful thankfulness compilation.
Happy Thanksgiving from your friends at NCF. Enjoy this devotional to help you make thanksgiving and gratitude a spiritual practice all year long.
Saturday 7 is brought to you by our team at the National Christian Foundation (NCF). We would love to help you create your Giving Strategy™, so you can experience more joy and adventure as you pursue a life of generosity. Find an NCF location near you at ncfgiving.com/locations.
