Ezra
3:11 With praise and thanksgiving they sang to the LORD:
"He is good; his love to Israel endures forever." And all the people
gave a great shout of praise to the LORD, because the foundation of the house
of the LORD was laid.
I am thankful because He
is good.
Psalms
95:2 Let us come before him with
thanksgiving and
extol him with music and song. 3
For the LORD is the great God, the
great King above all gods. 4
In his hand are the depths of the earth,
and the mountain peaks belong to him.
5 The sea is his, for he
made it, and his hands formed the
dry land. 6 Come, let us bow down in worship, let us kneel before the
LORD our Maker; 7 for he is our God and
we are the people of his pasture, the
flock under his care. Today, if
you hear his voice.
I am thankful because He
is the great God, the great King above all gods.
I am thankful because He
is our maker.

love endures forever and His faithfulness continues through all generations.
Psalm
147:7 Sing to the LORD with
thanksgiving; make music to our God on the harp. 8 He covers the sky with
clouds; he supplies the earth with rain and makes grass grow on the hills. 9
He provides food for the cattle and for the young ravens when they call. 10
His pleasure is not in the strength of the horse, nor his delight in the legs
of a man; 11 the LORD delights in those who fear him, who put their hope in
his unfailing love. 12 Extol the LORD, O Jerusalem; praise your God, O Zion,
I am thankful because the
Lord provides for all, big and small.
Psalm
69:30 I will praise God's name in
song and glorify him with thanksgiving.
31 This will please the LORD more than an ox, more than a bull with its horns
and hoofs. 32 The poor will see and be glad-- you who seek God, may your
hearts live!
33 The LORD hears the needy and does not despise his captive people. 34 Let
heaven and earth praise him, the seas and all that move in them, 35 for God
will save Zion
and rebuild the cities of Judah. Then people will settle there and possess it;
36 the children of his servants will inherit it, and those who love his name
will dwell there.
I am thankful because the
Lord loves the lost, the lonely, and the least.
Isaiah
51:3 The LORD will surely comfort Zion and will look with compassion on all
her ruins; he will make her deserts like Eden, her wastelands like the garden
of the LORD. Joy and gladness will be found in her, thanksgiving and the sound
of singing.
I am thankful because the
Lord will comfort and renew.
Jeremiah
30:19 From them will come songs of thanksgiving and the sound of rejoicing.
I will add to their numbers, and they will not be decreased; I will bring them

have reason to be happy. Look at
the God side of things.
Jonah 2:9
But I, with a song of thanksgiving, will sacrifice to you. What I have vowed I
will make good. Salvation comes from the LORD."
I am thankful because I
can.
God has saved me. Saved me from death, life, hell, and the grave.
O death where is thy sting O Grave where is thy victory?
The sting of death is sin and the strength of sin is the law but thanks
be to God which gives the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
1Cor 10:16
Is not the cup of thanksgiving for which we give thanks a participation in the

body of Christ?
I am thankful for the blood
and body of Christ.

which God created to be received with thanksgiving by those who believe and
who know the truth. 4 For everything God created is good, and nothing is to be
rejected if it is received with thanksgiving,
I am thankful for the
Creator who created everything good. Receive
it with Thanksgiving. Will you
receive from the Lord with Thanksgiving?
