That’s what Mirriam-Webster has to say, but what does thanksgiving mean to you? What are you thankful for? This week I want to make our devotion really simple. I want to challenge you as a family to sit down together and talk about what you are thankful for. Think hard, Dig deep! Sometimes our biggest blessings to be thankful for are hidden in unexpected places. Here are some great verses in Scripture to get you motivated.

1 Chronicles 16:8
Give thanks to the LORD, call on his name; make known among the nations what he has done.

1 Chronicles 16:34
Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good; his love endures forever.

1 Chronicles 16:35
Cry out, "Save us, O God our Savior; gather us and deliver us from the nations, that we may give thanks to your holy name, that we may glory in your praise."

1 Chronicles 29:13
Now, our God, we give you thanks, and praise your glorious name.

Daniel 2:23
"I thank and praise you, O God of my fathers: You have given me wisdom and power, you have made known to me what we asked of you, you have made known to us the dream of the king."

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."

Lastly, but certainly not least,

From all of us here on the KidzQuest team to you and your family, have a very Happy Thanksgiving!
