Thanks Living is first having a personal relationship with God— "My God."
Thanks Living is recognizing that relationship — "I will exalt You, praise (thank) Your name."
Thanks Living is enjoying the benefits of that relationship — "You have done wonderful things."
Thanks Living is knowing that the relationship is based on everlasting truth — "faithfulness and truth."
Thanks Living is relationship based—a relationship with God— MY God! And when I grasp that solid truth—thanksgiving overflows.
