      Beautiful Inspired 4 U!  I could not quote my scripture as it said over 82 characters, so I guess when asking the question, one can only have so many characters.  Happy Thanksgiving!  God bless you.

   1 Thessalonians 5:18
   In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.
   
   There are so many passages that lend themselves to giving thanks, but this one doesn't mince words. It is the "Will of God." Give thanks in all things, least we take HIM for granted.
   
   Blessings

   First let me wish you a most Happy and Blessed Thanksgiving. 
   
   One of my favorites---one of many---is Psalms 92.  The verse that really speaks to why I love Psalms 92 is verse 4 (Lord, you have made me happy by what you have done..... This come from the New Century Version's Everyday Study Bible.
   
   Makes me happy just to share this scripture.

   Faith Reaper, I love Psalm 100, too. I also love Philippians 4:6-7, my "go to" scripture for giving thanks in the midst of anxiety and need for understanding (. . . do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God, which surpasses all understanding . . .).

   My favorite is Genesis 1:26 -- that God created us in His image and likeness. That shows a vivid kinship that most people don't normally think about. That speaks to the love that God has for us and tells us how Noah's Flood was only an act of love and nothing more.
