Ep 2122: 3 Ways to Practice Thankfulness This Thanksgiving – and All Year Long

In this special Thanksgiving edition of iWork4Him, Jim and Martha share a heartfelt, practical conversation about living as people marked by gratitude – at work, at home, and before the Lord. This episode offers a gentle reset for your soul and a timely reminder to slow down, look around, and thank God for the people and blessings woven into your everyday life.

This conversation explores:

1. Being Thankful at Work
How small, intentional expressions of appreciation – from spoken thanks to love-language-based encouragement – can shift the atmosphere and help people feel seen. ( https://www.iwork4him.com/podcast/2023/2015 )

2. Being Thankful at Home
Why gratitude matters most with the people closest to us, and how noticing everyday acts, celebrating each other’s strengths, and appreciating God’s daily gifts can reshape the home.

3. Being Thankful to the Lord
A reminder that all gratitude begins with Him. Jim and Martha reflect on God’s faithfulness in their marriage, family, and calling, pointing us back to the Giver of every good gift.

Jim also shares a brief update on a new project he’s grateful for – The Power of OR Podcast ( https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCEOc-Sell_EV_gW9aA8TQpw ), a collaboration with SaferNet’s ( https://www.safernet.com ) Brad Hawkins that explores practical ways believers can make better decisions and navigate challenges with wisdom.

A Thanksgiving Encouragement
As you head into the holiday, we encourage you not to walk through it alone if you can help it, and to take every opportunity to thank the people around you. Gratitude grows best when it’s spoken.
