Thanksgiving.... Seems like only yesterday it was the beginning of year, now we are approaching the end. Where did the time go? Life is so fleeting....James said it best, it appears for a moment like a mist and then it is gone. Job said earlier...man born of a woman is of a few days...and those are full of trouble. Yes, this Thanksgiving....we are reminded that our lives here are brief and that’s why I am convinced we need to make each moment count. Live your life to the fullest! Give thanks unto the Lord for He is good!
Too many of us spend our lives living in the rewind wish mode. If only...one day...I wish; focusing on what we don't have, focusing on what could or should have been. This season...I ask you to focus on what you do have; your family, your friends, your church. Let us give thanks that we are still standing! In a world where people are falling each day....we are still alive with brand new mercies! Brand new opportunities!
This thanksgiving let us focus on all that Christ has done for us and all He is doing for us. Let it be more than the meal we eat. As we pause, let us focus on the positive rather than the negative. Let’s Praise God for every breath we take...every time we get a chance to get it right....let’s purpose this season to enjoy the simple things, yet the important things....laugh more, forgive ...let the past go. Don't be so serious....let your family know at the gatherings this year just how much they mean to you and how much you love them!
Believe that this...this life...is precious...it is for living...and let's be thankful as we enjoy the ride!
