With the big day---also known as Turkey Day and respectively, Thanksgiving---only about a week away, it's at this time where I really think about all the people, things, and places in my life that I'm truly thankful for...there are so many things, but here are some: Jesus, my Savior--my family (and extended, of course!)--my Christian education--my church--my pastors--my friends (WOL and non-WOL haha :])--Christian music to listen to instead of all the junk on the radio these days--Word of the Life Family Campground and Bible Institute--to be able to live in a land of freedom--and of course, my fat black cat!
When i think about all of these things that I'm thankful for, I also wonder why most people are only thankful at this time of year...In Psalm 92: 1-2 it says, "It is good to give thanks to the Lord, and to sing praises to Your name, O Most High; to declare Your lovingkindness in the morning, and your faithfulness every night." One of my goals (i guess its an early New Year's resolution) is to be more thankful for what I have and to also recognize it and give all the thanks and glory to God....because without Him...I'd only be thankful during Thanksgiving...or worse, I'd forget about Thanksgiving and skip right into the Christmas season where most people forget about the "Christ" in "Christ"mas.....but thats another entry for another time....in the meantime,...........................HAPPY THANKSGIVING, EVERYONE!....don't forget to eat some pumpkin pie! :)
