God: 20 Bible quotes for Thanksgiving
Thanksgiving is a time when
we consciously sit back and reflect upon the good
things in our lives and remember why we should be
grateful for what we have. But if you’re religious,
you are probably taking stock in your life and praising
God on a regular basis—instead of waiting for the
holiday season to show your gratitude. This collection

have—this Thanksgiving and beyond.
