Today is Thanksgiving.
I'm sure most of you guys knew that. Today's the day when most everyone counts their blessings and says "yep, I have a lot." Some say their thanks to God but many just to those around them. And it's good to be thankful. But the thing is...
Why just today?
Did yesterday have less to be thankful for? Will tomorrow bring less blessings? Maybe. But probably not.
We should be thankful ALL THE TIME. We should ALWAYS remember the blessings God gives us.
"Rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus." 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 (NIV, emphasis mine)
"Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good.
His love endures forever.
Give thanks to the God of gods.
His love endures forever.
Give thanks to the Lord of lords:
His love endures forever." Psalm 136:1-3 (NIV) Read the entire psalm.
Our God is wonderful, amazing, and great!!! He deserves our thankfulness! Let's try to remember His love on this special day and also as we go throughout the year.
God bless you all!
Great post! Really makes you reflect!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Laura! It's easy to forget all those blessings as we go through our day-yo-day life, isn't it? I found another passage today that talks about pretty much the same thing: Psalm 103:2-5. Blessings!
