As we focus on the day of Thanksgiving. A time that causes each of us to spend time with family and friends in an atmosphere of food, fellowship, and fun. We are also reminded of what we are to be thankful for. Holidays such as Thanksgiving reminds us also of the loved ones that are no longer with us that made days like this so special. But through it all I believe that we have a reason to Thank God Anyhow.
When we think about the fact that while my circumstances may change, we serve a God who doesn't, we can Thank God Anyhow. When we look at simply where we could be, in light of where we are now, we can Thank God Anyhow. There's so much to be thankful for.
I have a grateful heart this morning as I reflect on the fact that God is still on the throne and new mercies He's given. God has been good to this young man, and if the truth be told, he's been good to you. The best way to express our gratitude to Him is to live a life that would honor all of the things that He's done in our lives.
The line that says, "He's been better to me than I have been to myself" doesn't properly express how God has been to each and every one of us. I feel like David when he says, "if I have ten thousand tongues, it wouldn't be enough to tell You Thank You..."
God has placed some wonderful people in my path and in moments such as these you begin to reflect on the impact they have made in and on your life. He's shown me how much He loves me in the people who He has allowed our lives to intermingle with each other. From mentors, to friends, to confidants, to colleagues, etc. I am a better Christian, Husband, Pastor, Teacher, Son, Brother, Uncle, Nephew, Cousin, Friend, Mentor, Mentee, etc. because of so many of you.
I'm going to spend the day not only reflecting, but encouraging those who mean so much to me by letting them know I am thankful/grateful for them and the impact that has been made in my life.
Blessings to you and yours on this special day. And remember that after you thank God, be grateful by living the life that's worthy of His thanks...
