HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

Thanksgiving is one of my favorite holidays! Not only for TURKEY DINNER (one of my favorite meals) but for a time to reflect on being thankful for the blessings that surround us daily from the Lord. We were over at my sisters place this past Tuesday evening and she really hit me with a new revelation of a piece of scripture. "Enter His gates with Thanksgiving and His courts with praise; give thanks to Him and praise His name." Ps. 100:4 Before we praise the Lord we should thank Him. Once we become thankful for everything He has done, our praise means so much more to Him.

I know a lot of people who are in a tough spot right now and as I was praying for them, I was impressed to start to thank the Lord for what they do have and what God is doing in the midst of the storm. We serve a great God! And His greatness doesn't change no matter our circumstance. He gave His life for us as a pure gift so we can have eternal life. That in itself should be what we thank Him for daily! Not only did He give His life, He blesses us daily. Why? Because He loves His kids. :)

This year in particular I'm so thankful for health! Last year my Mom was walking through the beginning stages of breast cancer. This year she is CANCER FREE and we rejoice at how God brought us through the long journey.

So what are you thankful for? Start counting, because you are surrounded by blessings if you start looking. Before you know it you will be overwhelmed with thankfulness to the Lord that it turns to praise.
