Giving Thanks, Week 3

In two days we will celebrate nationally the day of Thanksgiving!

Most of us will gather together with family and friends and eat many of the same traditional foods. I do not know about you, but I do not serve cranberry sauce, mashed potatoes with gravy and pumpkin pie with whipped cream at my dinner table on most nights. But you better believe they will be on my Thanksgiving table! 

Why is it that I will spend more money than I normally do on a traditional meal, search high and low for the perfect Turkey, spend countless hours baking everyone’s favorite dessert, fret over setting the “perfect” table yet so quickly forget that it is all a representation of what should be a daily practice? A practice that should flow from my heart as easily as breathing flows from my lungs.

A day set aside to Give Thanks is wonderful! An opportunity to gather with family and friends great! And a reason to overindulge in delicious food is thrilling. It is all well and good as long as the meaning is not lost.

Giving Thanks, AKA THANKSGIVING, is a daily practice that God is deserving of and our lives can be transformed by!

Give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.” 

I Thessalonians 5:18

TRUTH BOMB
