Once a year we stop to thank God for all the blessings he has given us over the past year. Sadly, for far too many people all Thanksgiving has become is a day off from work, watching football, stuffing yourself with good food and napping on the couch. Many don't even acknowledge God at all. On the flip side, some acknowledge God's involvement in their lives. For some it is a time of reflection. Are they all they can be? Do they show their family how much they truly mean to them? Are they as close to God as they could be? Introspection is what each and every person, Christian or not, should do regularly ... not just once a year.
Let's face it, shouldn't we be thankful every day of the year. Just the fact that we are still above ground and breathing should be reason enough to be thankful to God. Regardless of your circumstances, take the time each day to thank God for your life, your family and your circumstances, which may not be ideal. Remember, God causes and allows all things and there is a reason for everything that we go thru. Don't you realize that no matter how bad things may look to you, it could always be worse ... trust me, it could ALWAYS be worse. So be thankful to God for life and love and peace and hope, because no matter what, with God there is always reason for hope. God hasn't forgotten any of us and will make things right when the time is right. So trust God and thank him for all you have and all you are.
As always, walk with the King and be a blessing and have a happy, healthy holiday with a grateful heart.
HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!
