Full of Thanksgiving

It's pretty fitting that the book I'm still reading right now (I commented on it in my last post as well) is all about being thankful. One Thousand Gifts by Ann Voskamp is a good read, friends. I've learned to be present in all situations, to be thankful for every moment I'm given, and to see and expect God in each day. Because he tells us he's there and we can take him at his Word.

So as we come into thanksgiving, I want to encourage you to be grateful for what you have and to stop pining for what you don't.  

Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and comes down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow of turning. James 1:17

He is worthy of our praise and admiration. He deserves our thanksgiving not only on this holiday, but every day.  As our perspectives shift, and we start seeing each day as a gift, not a right or entitlement, we will gradually see our lives change as we find joy in EACH moment and EACH circumstance. Celebrate what God has given you and worship him accordingly! 

Therefore, since we are receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, let us be thankful, and so worship God acceptably with reverence and awe Hebrews 12:28

Happy Thanksgiving:-)
