We should all be thankful. If for nothing
else, the fact that we live in such a wonderful country and world. This is the
country and world God created, and we are here, because He ordained it
so.
Let every thing that hath breath, praise the
Lord!
In all
things, give thanks, for this is the will of God concerning you.

I thank God for loving me enough to sacrifice
His Son for me.

I thank God for the stormy times as well as
the still times. Why? because He lets me know how special He is when storms
come and before I know it, I am past that point, when sometimes, I didn't know
when it happened. In the still times, He speaks to me, and His still small
voice is so sweet, that the birds will hush their singing. Yes, I believe
even the birds of the air have direction from God.
Thanksgiving
time is a special time, but we make such a big to do about it, that I
wonder if we really know what it's all about. We have been taught for
years to celebrate by stuffing the bird, and then stuffing ourselves until we
are most miserable. Some say, "I have nothing to be thankful about."
But I find that hard to believe. I have been through the toughest of
times, but I always found something to be thankful for.
Oh,
I think we God wants us to celebrate, but we need to keep it in
perspective. This year, whoever you are - If you are counted among the
poor, be thankful, for if you are Christian, you are counted amongst the
richest of mankind. If you are rich, Take time to think other than, ‘Look
how hard I have worked for all this’ and ‘I am deserving’ - and give thanks to
God that He made it possible. Then help someone less fortunate than you,
because some of them understand thankfulness more than you do. They don't have
so much to take for granted.
You who have all
your health, be thankful, for in a moment! Find someone who is not so healthy,
and share some thankful moments with them. As you bless them, they will bless
you, and together, give thanks with a grateful heart.
Happy
Thanksgiving to all 0 every day of the year!
Dave.
