HAVING A STATE OF GRATITUDE 

It’s a celebration!

Giving thanks to God can be a “Holy Party!”

I don’t know about you, but every time that I hear there’s a party coming I get excited!

This month not only holds one of my favorite days of the year, Thanksgiving, but it also is the month of two of my favorite birthday parties, my son’s and my grandson’s! I love these two boys more than I can say! The opportunity to celebrate them and have a party is at the very top of my list! We have so much fun and it is anything but quiet and still! They are loved and our family loves to celebrate them and have a great time in the process.

I love them both so much that I love celebrating them BIG! I love making sure that I get them exactly what they want! I love planning out the food so that it is their favorite. I love making or buying the dessert that is exactly what they want it to be! I do not care if people tell me I overdo it, spend too much money or talk too much about them! I love them and I love celebrating them and making sure they know how loved they are. I love showing them that I am crazy about them and in a state of GRATITUDE for them!

Why would I not want to show this same state of gratitude to my great God who has done so much for me?

In the same way I believe that GIVING THANKS to God can be like having a

‘Holy Party!’

Have you ever considered that giving thanks to God may be a bit undignified at times? It may be a crazy celebration that cannot be contained because our hearts are so full of gratitude to Him!

GRATITUDE is defined as, “The state of being grateful and being full of thankfulness!

Having gratitude is a state of being! It may be a state of quiet reflection and thankfulness at times. But it just might also be a ‘Holy Party’ with singing, shouting, music, song and so much joy that it simply cannot be contained!

Come, let us sing for joy to the Lord;

Let us shout aloud to the rock of our salvation. Let us come before Him with Thanksgiving and extol Him with music and song.”  Psalm 95:1-2

So, if you find yourself in this season of giving thanks jumping to your feet and singing, dancing and shouting your gratitude to God with joy, PARTY ON, 

you are in good company and our God is worthy!

GIVING THANKS TO GOD CAN SOMETIMES BE A HOLY PARTY!
