What a concept. Once a year the country focuses on what it is thankful for. But why once a year... why do we only take time to recognize our blessings when it's a big production... half the day is spent fusing in the kitchen, complaining about that one guest who will just ruin everything, or trying to figure out what to put on your Christmas wish list for black friday...
But the word tells us to be thankful and greatful. Two different words. Swe I am not thankful that everything that has been in my life has happend. But I'm greatful that I never have to walk it alone.
Maybe it's a silly distinction but it came to my mind this morning.
I have so much to be thankful for this year and as this is the last thanksgiving we have with family for a while we want to really enjoy it. I'm going to put down the phone, the black Friday ads, and stop worrying if the day will turn out perfect. Instead I'm going to thank God for what He has given me and enjoy my blessings.
Have a blessed thanksgiving
Love,
The mayers
