Adjective: An expression of gratefulness; Well pleased
I feel we as a culture seem to fill our days with the demands of daily life. Not stopping often enough to reflect on the abundance that God has given us. I AM thankful that many Americans this time of year do reflect and tend to re-prioritize so that they can enjoy the things that they are thankful for!
Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good! His faithful love endures forever ~ Psalm 106:1
Thanksgiving Day is a jewel, to set in the hearts of honest men; but be careful that you do not take the day, and leave out the gratitude. ~E.P. Powell
Giving thanks is very important! Especially in our walk with the Lord. We as Christians should be make it a point to thank God on a daily basis. This is not only helping us stay focused and grateful for what God has brought us through and where he is taking us. It helps in verbalizing our gratitude by speaking well of Him to others. Not only that, raising children in a generation of ungrateful children this gives us as parents the ability to affect change! Tell your children what you are thankful for and encourage them to make their own lists. Rimind them that it is not the "stuff" that is important but relationships and the blessings that God has clearly blessed us with!
With that, I am thankful for my sweet family, My freedom as a citizen of America and the Gift of salvation.
Blessings on this day of giving thanks!
"The LORD has done great things for us, and we are filled with joy." Psalm 126:3
