I hope the title
of this post caught your eye. No,
it’s not November. In fact it’s half a year
until our next Thanksgiving holiday. But
today I declare – “Happy Thanksgiving!”
In November we
take time to remember what we are thankful for.
Many times when doing so we even talk about how we should be thankful
all year long – not just during the thanksgiving holiday.
Today, as I read
through our daily Bible reading, God’s word reminded me of this truth.
Colossians 2:6-7:
6 Therefore, as you received Christ Jesus
the Lord, so walk in him, 7 rooted and built up in him and established in the faith, just as you were taught, abounding in
thanksgiving.
So often I take for granted what I received in
Christ Jesus the Lord. I take for
granted my life in Him, my faith in Him and all the things I should be thankful
for because of Him. Paul encourages us
to “abound in thanksgiving.”
Have you abounded in thanksgiving lately? Or has it been six months since you did so?
What are you thankful for today?
