The one thing that I dislike about Thanksgiving is that we only give so much thanks that day. Why do we not come together and talk about how thankful we are on other days? Why don't we tell God how thankful we are for being healthy, able bodied, in our right mind, having food, not going hungry, having a roof over our heads, being loved by Him, etc. etc. every other day of the week? Is Thanksgiving so special that we can only be so thankful on this day or are we just not really that grateful?
I dare you to spend all weekend in Thanksgiving, thanking God for everything. There is always something to thank God for, from the clothes on your back, to getting you where you are, to waking you up today and letting you sleep last night, for peace and comfort or for healing and renewing. There is always something in which to be grateful for.
I will leave you with this question. What if you woke up only with the things you thanked God for yesterday?
