Turkey, Ham, Roast Beef or Cheerios?
It’s Thanksgiving. Another day we are granted, to legally give thanks. So, what are you thankful for this year?
A tradition always held at the dinnertime at my in-laws, was to take turns around the table saying what you were thankful for the past year. Have you ever noticed that when you take the time to think about what there is to be thankful about, one thing can lead to another and there wouldn’t be enough time in the day to list it all.
So, we’d love to hear what you’re thankful for. I’ll start.
I am thankful for…
the love of a God who loves me so much that He’ll never give up on me.
A husband that stays by my side through thick and thin.
Three wonderful kids who encourage and support me, endlessly.
The most beautiful granddaughter ever. Really, she is.
A home.
My daily bread and sometimes dessert too.
Friends.
And, this day. To reflect God’s goodness in my life. Without Him, I would be absolutely nothing. Like a worm even, scavenging through the earth, digging to China or who knows where, without an obvious reason/purpose.
But I have a purpose. To love God and worship Him alone. To love people. The group 4Him once sang a song with those words, titling it The Center of the Mark. And that is my desire. To hit the center of the mark.
May this Thanksgiving day you pause to find a quiet place in your life and reflect on the blessings that God has poured on You and give Him due Him. And oh! Have a blessed holiday!
