“In everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.”

1 Thessalonians 5:18

Before we put the fork in our mouths, “Let’s Pause,” and thank our Lord for His grace and mercy. Let’s not be like the nine lepers who took God’s gift of healing and then failed to show their gratitude. God has been so good and gracious to each of us. How many times have we heard, “If I had ten thousand tongues, I couldn’t thank God enough.” No, we can’t thank Him sufficiently, but we can live in an attitude of gratitude. There is nothing complicated about showing appreciation.

A few things to be thankful for on this Thanksgiving Day:

Each breath that I take

The 332 days I experienced in 2019

A healthy body

An alert mind

Family, Friends, and Associates

An unbroken family circle

Comfortable shelter

An appetite

Provisions

Reliable transportation

Loving me in spite of me

Keeping Your promises

Your protection

Drawing me unto Yourself

Giving me purpose and destiny

Lord, there are many, many reasons to give You thanks. Know that my heart is full of joy and gratitude on this Thanksgiving Day. And did I say, thank You for someone else preparing the meal!

Happy Thanksgiving!
