Today is the one day of the year that we set aside to give thanks. The rest of the year, we have a tendency to focus so much on ourselves that we do not remember to be thankful to God and others. Today, I would encourage you to spend some extended time with the Lord thanking and praising Him for what He has done in your life! I would also encourage you to share with the people in your life what you are thankful for about them.
When I was in high school, one of my teachers suggested making a list of 10 things you are thankful for every hour throughout the day. That is a great way to remind ourselves that we are blessed. So here is a small portion of what I am thankful for:
- Life
- Breath
- Jesus Christ
- Family
- Friends
- Health
- My Gifts and Talents
- Grace
- Jesus’ Life, Death, and Resurrection
- The Gospel
- Church
- People Who Have Invested in My Life
- My Job
- And Many More Things that I Do Not Have Time to List
So, what are you thankful for?
