Which means the craziness of the holidays have begun. But in this season we have to pause and give thanks to God for everything he has gave us: our family, friends, house, job, ect. There is SO MUCH we can be thankful for, for what God has given us.
Psalm 107:1 (NIV) Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good; his love endures forever.
Did you know that this verse is not only in Psalm it is in other places in the Bible too? Many of them are in Psalm but not all of them are.
Think back to when the first Thanksgiving happened... people gathering together that didn't know each other, but they still were together and gave thanks. What would have happened if the pilgrims and Indians didn't put aside there differences to help everyone survive?
Would we be here today? Would there be more wars then there already are? Would we have Thanksgiving?
God knew all of this before it happened, and that is just one reason why we should be thankful.
So I am going to challenge ALL of us (me included) to set aside some time in this crazy holiday season to write out 50 things we are thankful for. They can be as broad or specific as you like.
I am also going to challenge us that after we write the list, as the weeks go by we pull the list back out and read it and thank God for EVERY thing you wrote down.
Till next time
