Recently I have been thinking a lot about how thankful I am for my friends, about how incredibly blessed I am, and about how I don't deserve all of the overwhelming love I have felt. God is so good and gracious, beyond measure. He pours out His love and grace on us out of His compassion for his beloved children.
Blessings. What are the blessings I overlook and don't seem to appreciate?How can I live more in a manner of thankfulness? God calls us to live lives of thanks to him, and I know I don't thank him nearly enough.
So therefore I am going to write something I'm thankful for each day of November leading to Thanksgiving. This will be a way for me to take time to not look over the many ways I have been blessed. Hopefully this time of year will challange you to think about that too. God loves his children, he blesses us in some ways we hardly ever notice until we are standing still for a moment.
This leads me to think about what a thankful heart looks like. I think it is different for each person, but for every person it requires moments of us being still. How do you best express your thanks to God? Do you spend time resting in His presence and reflecting on all he is doing in your life? Thanks should flow from our speechand actions, and it should radiate outwardly as we live in a state of thankfulness and humility.
Rest, reflect, let the God who spreads his love all around you restore you in His truth more and more each day!
Be thankful as you rejoice, be thankful as you grieve.
