Give Thanks

Truly one of the most life changing phenomenons is learning how to give thanks. "Give thanks with a grateful heart!" I was challenged this week to find five things that I was thankful for. It didn't take long before my list was filled and I realized all the daily comforts and joys and wonderful relationships that I am priviledged to have. It's when I choose to be selfish, angry, to doubt or to make excuses that joy leaves my heart and consequently thanks leaves my lips. What about you?
On this Thanksgiving holiday, may you remember all that you have to be thankful for: Family, friends, food (gobble, gobble:), and especially our Heavenly Father who gave His only son to save us from our sins!

"Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good; his love endures forever" (Psalm 118:1).
