The difference between thanks and praise is usually that we thank God for what He does for us, and we praise God for who He is. God’s people do both! 

Scripture is full of God’s people praising Him and thanking Him. Celebrating what God has done for us and praising who He is helps spread the gospel so that more people come to trust in Christ. 

In the Bible we see His people praising God by singing, shouting, playing musical instruments, and dancing. Your girl can glorify God in other ways too, like art, through serving others, or by doing her daily work well and in a way that honors God. What can your family do in the next week to help spread God’s good name?
