Are we grateful for what God has provided for us in Christ?

A lot will be said and done during this wonderful holiday season called Thanksgiving. People will be shopping for the many foods and pastries that will be shared in their proverbial Thanksgiving dinners. Many will be traveling long distances to unite with their families. All of this will be to celebrate one day. Unfortunately, many have reduced this day to a forced expectation that produces stress and anxiety. Thanksgiving should be a time where we remember the good things around us like family, friends, health, memories and relationships. It shouldn’t be about comparison or keeping up false images just to impress others. Take time to laugh, celebrate and enjoy the simple, yet important things.

And above all, don’t forget to be grateful and thankful for all that God has done for us. He is our Lord, King, Savior, Creator, Healer, Provider, Sanctifier, Redeemer, Protector, Shepherd, Chief Bishop and Apostle.

Hebrews 13:15 “Therefore by Him let us continually offer the sacrifice of praise to God, that is, the fruit of our lips, giving thanks to His Name”
