Happy Thanksgiving to ya … Enjoy JESUS in the middle of your holiday!
Some things are just supposed to happen on Thanksgiving. Spending time with family and friends. Eating turkey and dressing. Gaining weight. The Cowboys win… stick with me for a minute.
Being thankful is all about attitude. Thanksgiving is not just a day on the calendar when our nation revisits history or close down the banks and the government for a few days. It is a lot more than that.
“No matter what happens, always be thankful, for this is God's will for you who belong to Christ Jesus.” 1 Thessalonians 5:18 (NLT)
Believers ought to find themselves going in this direction every day as God reveals Himself to us in thought, in His work and through His presence in our lives. Stop and think for a minute and ask a few questions: What am I thank for? How do I express thanks? When was the last time my family or a friend heard me being grateful?
Again, thanksgiving is matter of the heart.
Try to share more than just what you are thankful for when you live out your holiday tradition or spend time with the people you care about. Ask God to let you feel and reveal thanks through what you say, how you act, in your thoughts and best yet in your motives and facial expression. God may use you to make a huge difference in the lives of the people closest to you.
Turn that frown upside down. Let go of the old grouch. Unplug the negative and fire up the positive. Do something that let yourself and others know you are ready to Give Thanks.
We have so much to be thankful for.
“I give you thanks, O LORD, with all my heart; I will sing your praises...” Psalms 138:1 (NLT)
