The Scripture says, in everything give thanks, for this is the will of God concerning us, It's an attitude the saints of old understood, often times offerings, memorials and giving of thanks attended most of the goings and coming of Israel(God's People), creating in them a deep consciousness of the Presence of God in the midst of them furthering even more the Power and Grace of God for them.

 Paul writes in his letter to the church in Thessalonica, Be thankful in all circumstances, for this is God’s will for you who belong to Christ Jesus(1 THESSALONIANS 5:19).His following instruction is succinct, He says 'Do not extinguish God's Spirit', Very few virtues keeps our mind on our Lord like the Habit of being THANKFUL!
