Being thankful and having a generous heart will bring you blessing. It is more blessed to give than to receive, words of Jesus recorded outside the Gospels in Acts 20:35. There is blessing in giving, and not just at Christmas. Being thankful, having a grateful heart full of thanksgiving, praise and appreciation of many blessings will bring joy and spiritual benefit. It is good, very worthwhile to count your blessings. It will help your state of mind, keep you positive and happy. It is an essential part of the Christian life and integral to our happiness. Be joyful always; pray continually; GIVE THANKS IN ALL CIRCUMSTANCES, for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus. 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18.
God loves a generous and cheerful giver. 2 Corinthians 9:7. Through giving we can bless others, encourage them, invest in their lives, projects and plans. We can cheer them up and on to greater things.
Compared with many people in the world we are rich and greatly blessed. The rich are commanded to do good, to be rich in good deeds, and to be generous and willing to share. 1 Timothy 6:18.
