Thanksgiving In The Midst of
Thanks-living
This month is when we commemorate
an occasion from American history that we call Thanksgiving. We certainly have many blessings for which we
should be and are thankful. Should we limit our thanksgiving to a particular
time of year or should it be a part of our lifestyle?
That's
what thanks-living is all about. We
should recognize that we have reason to be thankful everyday of our life and
our actions should show our appreciation to those people who are there for us
and help us out.
Each day
I have a chance to see some of God's creation, is a day to be joy-filled and a
time when I should say, "Thank You, God." I look at all things whether simple or complex
and I appreciate the presence of God in everything around me.
What
about the people? Are they reasons to be
thankful? Sure, they are!!! Those family members, friends and even the
yet-to-be friends are gifts from God, and I am thankful to go out and meet so
many of them.
I will be
celebrating Thanksgiving this month just like you, but I will also put it into
a proper perspective. When I realize my
daily deeds have a degree of thankfulness it will become part of my lifestyle.
I say,
"Thank You Lord," for every person, everything and every chance with
which I am blessed because in each of them I can meet God. There is an awesome fulfilling presence that
gives me life and leads me to a richer, more positive, and hopeful mind-set.
When I
can look beyond the present struggles and pain of life to see a vision of what
can be, I will pursue that goal. This is
what our faith is all about. We learn
about what is beyond our earthly life from stories in the Bible.
