Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving~ one word which is mainly only used during this season/time of the year. One word but there is more than one way of looking at it.

Thanksgiving is a time when we gather together with those we love and we thank God for all that He has done for us throughout the year and throughout all our lives. But there is more than just saying a simple thank you. When you see someone who is not included or lonely...welcome them and help them. For Christ has told us whenever we help the least of these we help and honour Him, but when we ignore them we ignore Him and dishonour Him.

So I am very thankful for all that I have in my life and there are so many blessing that the list could go on and on- from small to huge things. I know though that I will show my thanks to all who are around me, not just by saying thank you to God for them, but by actually demonstrating to them my love and thankfulness for them.

Here in the land of the Free and 'One Nation Under God' where we say 'In God We Trust', I give thanks for a country in which this holiday is recognized. Because if it were not for God we would not have this country and this opportunity, nor would we have the people in our lives to show our love, thanks, and gratitude to.

So tomorrow as you gather around the Turkey thank God, but go a step further and actually take action to show your thanks to those in your life!
