Hard
to believe that there is only one month left in 2012. The holiday season is ahead of us, and there
is so much to do, so much has been done and lots to remember. Plus there is much, very much to give thanks
for.
This
year has brought lots of blessings and learning. But if we look further than the last 11
months, we will find even more to be thankful for. This is the week of Thanksgiving. This is time for being thankful, but if we
are honest, some of us need to change our attitude so we can be thankful.
Here
are some thoughts about having an attitude of giving-thanks.
Devote yourselves to prayer with an
alert mind and a thankful heart.
Giving-thanks
is a choice we make before we give thanks.
It is good to give thanks to the Lord,
to sing praises to the Most High.
Giving-thanks
is a good thing. In fact being thankful
is a characteristic of the people who follow God.
Give thanks to the Lord and proclaim
his greatness. Let the whole world know what he has done.
When
we recognize how good God is, we will be known for giving-thanks. It will also let others see how good and
gracious God is.
Give thanks to the Lord, for he is
good! His faithful love endures forever.
Our
Christian walk is not found in our experiences.
It is found in our faith in God.
It is built on the truth of God that we find in the Bible. May we be known as people who this week and
often, even daily are giving-thanks.
