Gratitude is the key to the heart. I would suggest that we expand Thanksgiving to 365 days per year and begin when we wake up in the morning.
The Psalmist agrees:
Psalm 18:49 Therefore I will give thanks to You, O LORD, among the Gentiles, And sing praises to Your name.
Psalm 30:4 Sing praise to the LORD, You saints of His, And give thanks at the remembrance of His holy name.
Psalm 30:12 To the end that my glory may sing praise to You and not be silent. O LORD my God, I will give thanks to You forever.
