At the beginning of every new year we set out very bogus goals that we plan to achieve during the year in question. Sometimes we achieve these goals and sometimes we do not. The truth is that I do not know how you have fared so far in your journey in 2017.
On a personal note it has been a very tough and challenging year for me but I know that the year will end in great rejoicing, praises and celebrations no matter what.
For this week I have thought through 17 things that we should thank God Almighty for in 2017. Your list might go as far as 50 or even 100 depending on how amazing God has been good to you. On a practical note let us start with these 17 reasons why we should engage in thanksgiving, praise and continual worship for the entire lenght of this week and possibly beyond.
Happy thanksgiving!

I admonish you to add your own specific lists to this list of 17 items and committ your life to thanksgiving and praise of the living God for if you say your case is bad then you need to visit a hospital, a psychatic ward, a prison a slave camp.
Please let us try not to offend God Almighty by being unthankful, ungrateful and unpraiseful. We were born to praise Him Jehovah, the LORD of LORDS, we were born to honour Him with our lives and our worship.
In this season of love and goodwill from our Father let us take out time to be thankful and grateful daily till the end of 2017 and beyond.
