10 Verses On Being Thankful

Last week, I wrote a post on The Best Marriage Advice So Far. In that post, I mentioned that no matter what season, good or bad, to praise and thank God. This prompted me to really reflect on thankfulness and what it means to be thankful in good times and in bad things. Here are ten verses that really stuck out to me over the week.

one.
Give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you. – 1 Thessalonians 5:18

two. 
And whatever you do, in word or deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him. – Colossians 3:17
three.

And you will say in that day: “Give thanks to the Lord, call upon his name, make known his deeds among the peoples, proclaim that his name is exalted. “Sing praises to the Lord, for he has done gloriously; let this be made known in all the earth. – Isaiah 12:4-5

four.

But he gives more grace. Therefore it says, “God opposes the proud, but gives grace to the humble.” Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded. Be wretched and mourn and weep. Let your laughter be turned to mourning and your joy to gloom. Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will exalt you. – James 4:6-12

five.
… I will give thanks to the Lord with my whole heart; I will recount all of your wonderful deeds. I will be glad and exult in you; I will sing praise to your name, O Most High. – Psalm 9:1-2
six.
…I waited patiently for the Lord; he inclined to me and heard my cry. He drew me up from the pit of destruction, out of the miry bog, and set my feet upon a rock, making my steps secure. He put a new song in my mouth, a song of praise to our God. Many will see and fear, and put their trust in the Lord. Blessed is the man who makes the Lord his trust, who does not turn to the proud, to those who go astray after a lie! You have multiplied, O Lord my God, your wondrous deeds and your thoughts toward us; none can compare with you! I will proclaim and tell of them, yet they are more than can be told. – Psalm 40:1-17
seven.

Though the fig tree should not blossom, nor fruit be on the vines, the produce of the olive fail and the fields yield no food, the flock be cut off from the fold and there be no herd in the stalls, yet I will rejoice in the Lord; I will take joy in the God of my salvation. God, the Lord, is my strength; he makes my feet like the deer’s; he makes me tread on my high places. – Habakkuk 3:17-19

eight.
Oh give thanks to the Lord, for he is good, for his steadfast love endures forever! – Psalm 107:1
nine.
And let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to which indeed you were called in one body. And be thankful. Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly, teaching and admonishing one another in all wisdom, singing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, with thankfulness in your hearts to God. – Colossians 3:15-16
ten.
The Lord is my strength and my shield; in him my heart trusts, and I am helped; my heart exults, and with my song I give thanks to him. – Psalm 28:7

    Great look! I love the earrings! I always forget to take pictures when I’m having fun, but it’s kind of a bummer afterwards!

  • Back porch summer reset with @homedepot 🧡#AD

Our back porch had become one of the most underused spaces in our home, so this summer a back porch reset was top on our priority list ✨

By swapping our outdoor dining setup for a cozy conversation set and adding a few simple touches like lanterns, pillows, and greenery, it now feels like the perfect spot to unwind, connect, and enjoy summer evenings.

Sometimes the biggest transformations come from the simplest changes. I found everything I needed at @HomeDepot to bring this vision to life. 

COMMENT “shop” for the links.
