WHY YOUR THANKSGIVING TO GOD SHOULD BE DONE WITH A GRATEFUL HEART
Text: Psalm 103: 1-12; Lamentations 3:22-23
INTRODUCTION
God is good to you. You cannot deny it. I thank God that I am alive today. We should praise and thank God always. There are people that are taking their last breath on earth right now, both young and old. It is only the living that can do Annual Thanksgiving. Rejoice and give God quality praise and thanksgiving! Being alive is one of God’s benefits we should not take for granted. The dead are either in the mortuary or in the cemetery. What a great privilege to be alive and participate in this year’s annual thanksgiving service unto our almighty, kind, loving, merciful and faithful God.
GOD’S BLESSINGS AND BENEFITS TO US
God’s goodness and benefits to us are so many that we should not forget to thank Him always:

2. He forgives all your iniquities Ps 103:10-12; Ps 130:3a
3. He heals all your diseases. Ps 103: 3b; Exodus 15:26

5. He Crowns you with love and compassion. Ps 103:8; Jer 31:3: John 15:13;
6. Satisfies your mouth/desires with good things Ps 103:5a
