A Time to be Thankful

I am sure that many people are contemplating what they are thankful for today, on this day that we so creatively call Thanksgiving Day. At least, I hope that's what they're doing! There really is little to worry about with the feast and all {after all, my green bean casserole is PERFECTLY DIVINE every time I make it, so I'm definitely not worried about starving this year} because many of us would jump at the chance to make any other day of the year a feast day to stuff ourselves and nap over and over throughout the day.

If nothing else, this day serves as a reminder that I don't practice being outwardly thankful for everything in my life. Salvation, family, friends, love, being an American, having a job... in addition to many other material things that are just a small cherry on top of the HUGE sundae God made when he gave up his Son to die on the cross for us!

So go ahead and make your list -check in twice in preparation for Christmas!- of what you're thankful for, and remember what should be listed as the all-time number one thing you're thankful for.

"Oh give thanks to the Lord, for He is good; for His steadfast love endures forever!" -Psalm 118:1
