“Oh, give thanks to the Lord, for he is good; for his steadfast love endures forever!” – 1 Chronicles 16:34

First, I would like to find what exactly “Thanks” means in the dictionary.

According to Merriam-Webster it means:

  1. kindly or grateful thoughts.
  2. an expression of gratitude

According to Dictionary.com: 

  • an expression of appreciation or gratitude or an acknowledgment of services or favours given.

My Definition

“Thanks” to me means that sharing feelings of gratitude and appreciation. Kind of like Thanksgiving as we are all gathered together and sharing a dish with thankfulness in our hearts. I think it’s important to express these feelings even times when we are not thankful. When something terrible happens, we must put the shame in our backs and carry with thankfulness in our hearts. As, these feelings are created by us, it is better to create thankful feelings even when things are no thankful.

Second, I would like to say that Thank You! goes a long way and it saves us from many sins. Many people are rude and just just don’t like to express feelings. But it’s not the feelings we need to express, but just a simple, “Thank you!” Showing a simple gratitude builds emotional support to the receiver.

Remember 

We are here on Earth for a test, to heaven or hell, which the choice is ours. Therefore, creating Thankfulness in your mindset you are welcoming kindness into your life. This type of kindness builds strong relationship towards the heaven side with God and Angels. This is why it’s important to be thankful for what you have here on Earth and towards everyone else.

Start Practicing 

If you never say thank you, then start practicing. Every time you get food or go shopping, just say thank you to the cashier. Then say it to everyone else.
