Everyday should be Thanksgiving for the Christian. That’s because every day you can ask yourself “What am I thankful for?” and come up with pretty much the same answer. I’m thankful for the fact that Christ died for me. Salvation has changed the entire trajectory of my life. I get to know the Creator of the Universe a little better every day.
So in this world that is becoming more hateful and chaotic every single day, I get to love others and reach out with the love of Christ. No hate, no violence, no ugliness... just a calm spirit, and a will to do the right thing in the eyes of Almighty God.
Am I perfect? Not even close, but I strive for perfection by trying to be a reflection of Jesus in this sin-sick, violent, hateful world. Does it seem irrational to strive for something you can never obtain this side of heaven? I personally don’t think so. I mean, what are your alternatives. You go on social media and lately all you see is name calling and ugly rhetoric that depresses your soul. Christ uplifts my soul every time I think of Him.
So on this Thanksgiving Day 2025, I am grateful for life, liberty, & forgiveness. I am thankful for all the folks I know. I’m thankful for my lovely wife, Kathy. I’m thankful for the life I’ve lived, with all its peaks & valleys, for that is where growth takes place. I am a better man today because Christ is in my life and I will continue to be a better version of myself every day that I serve the King. How about you?
I hope this finds you in good spirits & may the Lord bless both you & yours on this beautiful day. HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!
Until next time, walk with the King & be a blessing.
In His Name & for His Glory,
