I find it very interesting that in our society today, we have set aside a certain day just to be thankful. I mean think about it. We cook a dinner, we get all of our families together, and we say grace and we go around the table saying what we are thankful for. But why don't we do that everyday? Why is it only one day of the year we truly make an effort to give thanks? I bet Jesus loves our version of "Thanksgiving" because that is the day that most everyone says a prayer before they eat. Thanking Him for providing in their lives. And that whole day He is just soaking it all in. All of His children giving Him thanks, recognizing Him for the things He has put in their lives. We as humans really appreciate it when someone just stops and says, thanks you. So why don't we do that to God? The one who created us, and the one who is guiding our lives, who sent His son Jesus, to die on the cross so that we may live here on this earth and have our sins erased and a shot at eternal life. That is more than any human could ever give, but yet we still don't give Him the glory He deserves.
You know, I pray that everyday will become "Thanksgiving", I pray that everyday we will give Him all the thanks for our lives. I pray that we wont only talk to God 3 times a year (Christmas, Easter, Thanksgiving), but every time we get a chance. The next time you get a free moment, just send a prayer up to Heaven, and let our Heavenly Father know just how much you appreciate Him, and pray that you will draw close to Him in all circumstances. Because He deserves our up most attention and thanks.
Give thanks to the Lord, for He is good; His love endures forever.
-1 Chronicles 16:34
Happy Thanksgiving (today, tomorrow, and all the days to come),
