This week we celebrate Thanksgiving. What an amazing day as well as opportunity. When criticism and complaining seem to be the commonplace in culture, the giving of thanks is such a breath of fresh air. I've heard people who've said they have nothing to be thankful for. Hopefully you don't fall into this category? We are blessed! No, actually we're very blessed! I know we all go through difficult situations, trials and circumstances, but really, saying you have nothing to be thankful for? If you take a moment to think about it, what are you thankful for? Start saying what you're thankful for. Even write them down. I'm sure your list will be long. Something we can't forget is that thanksgiving requires action. It requires us not only to say it, but living it out. Merriam-Webster defines thanksgiving as, "The act of giving thanks; a prayer expressing gratitude; a public acknowledgement or celebration of divine goodness." I want others to see me as a person of thanksgiving. Not only one day a year, but all year round. The Lord has been so good to me, how could others not see it in my words and actions?
