Have You Paused to Thank God Today?
Thankfulness flows from recognizing God’s hand in every blessing, big or small. Gratitude isn’t about waiting for ideal circumstances—it’s about acknowledging God’s goodness in every season. When you take time to thank Him, your heart shifts from worry to trust, from lack to abundance. Thanksgiving is a reminder that every gift comes from Him, and His faithfulness never fails.
Today, pause to reflect on God’s blessings in your life. Thank Him for His provision, His grace, and His presence. Let gratitude transform your heart, bringing peace and joy as you celebrate His goodness. No matter what your circumstances, His love and faithfulness endure forever.
"Oh give thanks to the Lord, for he is good; for his steadfast love endures forever!"
— Psalm 107:1
Brief Biographical Summary
William Bradford (1590–1657) was a leader of the Pilgrims and governor of the Plymouth Colony. His faith in God’s providence carried the settlers through hardship, and he helped establish the first Thanksgiving as an act of worship and gratitude to God.
Fun fact: Bradford’s journal, Of Plymouth Plantation, provides much of what we know about the Pilgrims’ journey and the origins of Thanksgiving, offering a firsthand account of their faith and perseverance.
