If I were to ask you what you are grateful for, I have no doubt you could name those things in your life that are blessings in your life. Those things that God has given or done for you. But did you know that there are benefits to be grateful as well? But first, what is the definition of the word grateful, anyway.
grateful: feeling or showing an appreciation of kindness.
So, what are the benefits of being grateful? Here are a few of them. (see

1. It can relief stress
2. It can make you feel more positive
3.It can strengthen your relationships.
4. It can make you healthier.
5. It can reduce your risk of depression
And let's also see what God says about being grateful as well:
According to the Bible, God considers it unjust to show a lack of gratitude
For we are unto God a sweet savour of Christ, in them that are saved 2 Corinthians 2:15
And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to the which also ye are called in one body; and be ye thankful. Colossians 3:15
And when ye will offer a sacrifice of thanksgiving unto the Lord, offer it at your own will. Leviticus 22:29
Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits:
Psalms 103:2
Let them give thanks to the LORD for his unfailing love and his wonderful deeds for mankind, Psalms 107:8

God's word speaks quite a lot about being thankful and grateful to He who is the Father of Lights, comes down from the heavens to give good gifts and does not change. James 1:17
This week being the week of Thanksgiving, we should be thankful for all things our Heavenley Father has given to us. But it does not end with just that day. We should be grateful to Him every day!
