I appreciate most of the answers so rfar. I am specifically hoping some answerers will share how it does them good to be thankful - in other words, What good does it do me to thank God? I'm sure some will have a lot to share on this

I give thanks in all things and usually God comes through even in the worst circumstances ...it is the best way to receive a miracle.

When I thought I lost everything by the grace of god a property sold for twice what I owed I was able to get out of divorice debt and I was finally able to calm my life down enough to think clearly. I believe with prayers to Jesus, they were answered, and it is he who saw my suffering and took my load and carried it for me. If anyone had a prayer answered should thank God every time see how an answered prayer changed their lives. I do. If God is real or not I don't care. I want to believe it was God who sent the fire that burned the house that had no insurance and saw it was sold for twice what I owed and I was able to pay the house off and all my bills with money left over to help my kids and my sister. And alot of times its not money it's sending people to help you during the worst days of your life. A phone call from a dear friend you haven't heard from in years and they called at the right second of the right day. That can only be a merciful God.

Yes, and I could keep you reading all night, however, I will share one instance of this.
A number of years ago, I had 2 falls, which resulted twice in my coccyx being fractured. (This is the little tale on the end of your spine.) I suffered severe pain for a long while, and took a polo cushion wherever I went to help me sit comfortably. An X-ray confirmed that my coccyx was athritic, and I was offered surgery to have it removed. I did not want surgery, because I had researched that this could lead to other spinal problems, so I refused it.
I was at a rather large meeting of Christians in London, here in the UK, and the speaker asked all those who were in pain at that time, to stand to their feet. I was suffering as usual with the pain in my coccyx, and so I stood. The person then prayed a simple prayer, asking for all those who were in pain to be released from it, for good.
From that day to this, I have experienced no pain in my coccyx - and I know that the simple prayer of faith on that day, was instrumental in Jesus healing me.
I praise God. I sit many hours for my work and also here with my ministries online, and I am able to sit without any pain at all.
Thank You Lord Jesus!!!!

I think Canadians can thank God that Canada came under the Queen (or was it a King?) rather then an American president.

None, not a single one.
Happy thanksgiving from a fellow canuck, enjoy your turkey etc.
Be gratefull for family and friends and whatever you have, but a fictitious deity has nothing to do with it.

I am here on this Earth and burning in hell where I should be, I should have died, 1975, God gave me a new life.
Yes I thank God everyday, for my life that is now lost in him.

we all should thank god for giving us "life" everyday. think about those unfortunate one who get killed even they do not deserve it, like the events happened in the amish county. those are young children who are so innocent from those kind of crime. we need to pray for them to be at peace and hoping it will not create troublesome for their community.
also, to our brave and loyal troops that is serving our country. they need our special honor and they deserve to be included in our prayers, thanking them for their continuous support in guarding our country towards peace and liberty. hoping they will remain strong and healthy far away from being harm.
we all should thanks god for giving us "food" everyday. think about those needy one in third world who does not have any food to eat, that they are unable to survive due to starvation, lack of nutrients on their meals. we all need to share to others by giving extra donation to the charity who specialized assistance to those poor country.
we all should thanks god for giving us "family". think of those unwanted children in the orphanage, the run away children, the exploited one, who are all suffering cause they feel alone, misguided and abused. they needed affection, prayers, assistance, unconditional love and caring gestures. we should visit them, donate something for them to cherish our love and our hopes.
