“Giving thanks always for all things unto God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ”
Ephesians 5:20
Some of what commentator Matthew Poole said about this verse:
About “Giving thanks always”: God still by fresh mercies gives fresh occasion for thanksgiving, and we must accordingly continue our thanksgiving through the whole course of our lives without weariness.
About “for all things”: all sorts of mercies, among which afflictions may be reckoned, as working for good to them that love God, Rom.8:28
5 Things I am grateful for this Lord’s Day:
1) The sermon I heard this morning.
2) My salvation and that it is by grace alone and nothing I had to do.
3) My husband, Brian and the wonderful marriage we have.
4) My 3 beautiful girls, that are truly gifts from the Lord.
5) The Bible
