Let us give thanks

Give thanks to the Lord, call on His name; make known among the nations what he has done.
~I Chronicles 16:8

I am thankful for you, for you are one of a kind

I am thankful for you, for your presence is divine

I am thankful for you, for your strength has given me hope

I am thankful for your inspiration that has kept me a float

I am thankful for the tears, the joy and long suffering we've shared

I am thankful for your endurance, standing still in times of despair.

Yes, it is that time again, where we gather together with our loved ones and bring in the wonderful meals and share what we are most thankful for. However, can you imagine if we were conscious of this kind act everyday, rather then just on the holidays? Fortunately, we can, for everyday whether rain or shine, cold or hot, holiday or regular day, hungry or full, is a day to give thanks. It is a day where we can come and call on His name as the scripture tells us and “make known” the great things that He has done in your life.

When we are thankful we express our appreciation towards something or someone. We don't necessarily have to receive something to say thank you. Yet, with a grateful heart one expresses the joy of God’s wonders. And the more we come to Him with a happy heart; we are refreshed in our Spirit and strengthen others in our path.

As we give thanks to God for the many blessings He has poured in our lives, let us also be thankful and consider even those we may call strangers. Keep in mind that the world is a better place because you are a part of it. Therefore, as we learn to grow in one Love and unite in one Spirit we will seek to only see the goodness of God and be thankful for His creations.

Let us give thanks today & “make a joyful noise unto the Lord”. Please, take time to simply be thankful for the air that you breathe, the lessons of life, the ground that you walk on and your surroundings. Even at this moment simply thank God for what He is doing and going to do in your life. Thank Him for the new avenue of abundance that He is opening up for you at this very moment.

Some things may not seem as important, but remember a simple “thank you” goes a long way.

Until then, make it a productive One,

Love,
