*Thursday* is *thanksgiving* and I can think of a better time in the year to say we need to have an attitude of Thanksgiving.
In this time of the year we usually give thanks to God* for* our *home*, *children*, the *things* that *we have* (material things), but *don't forget the most important thing which is our salvation.*
Now, this *V* that we just read tells us that we should *not only* be *giving thanks* *on thanksgiving*, *but every* day.
*I*.

There's over *130* times that we are *exhorted* to *be thankful* in the Word of God.
*1*.
*Gratitude* will *change* *depression to joy*, a *frown to a smile*, & *pessimism to optimism*.
*II*.
In *one* of my *secular jobs* that I had several years ago, *we had a saying* for any employee that did something that management didn't like, they had a “Bad Attitude.”
*A*.
By us *telling someone* to *change* their *attitude*, was *like* us *telling* a *Zebra* to *change* it's *stripes*.

*How* are we going to *change* our *attitude* *to* an *Attitude of Gratitude*?
