Today is just less than two weeks to Thanksgiving and do you know why you are thankful? For what will you give thanks this holiday season? Thanksgiving is more than a chance to commemorate a period of history, it is an opportunity to take stock of our lives and be grateful!
Today’s Countdown to Christmas Challenge is to take a moment. Don’t wait until Thanksgiving is up
on you. The meaning of the holiday will be completely lost in dinner preparations and houseguests. Tonight at dinner, go around the table with your immediate family and ask them what they are thankful for in their lives. Use their answers as a way of building upon the holiday. Put it in your Christmas cards. Do whatever it takes to recognize all of the blessings and good fortune you truly have!
We are Thankful for so much that we have been blessed with this year. We are also mindful to be thankful for what we don’t have: Cancer, as my dad’s surgery was complete success; increased debt, as we still have income; chronic pain, because massage therapy exists as a Godsend. God has been so good to us this year! We are thankful for what we do have – by His grace. And we are thankful for what we don’t have – by His great mercy.
