The Christian Milspouse Podcast Episode 8
On this episode, we’re talking about having a heart of gratitude.
As I record this, it’s November 1, and in the U.S. that means that Thanksgiving is coming! What a perfect time to think about gratitude. Being thankful doesn’t always come naturally, especially when you’re going through a particularly tough time.
Let’s talk about why gratitude is important, how to cultivate thankfulness, and what the Bible says about gratitude (and complaining!). God has a lot to say about gratitude… and also about the lack of it.
There’s so much in the Bible about gratitude and thankfulness! This might be a good time to do a study on gratitude, whether alone or with your family. Let me know if you do!

Some Bible verses on gratitude to ponder:
“Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.” 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18
“This is the day that the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it.” Psalm 118:24
