Usually, this is the time we take turns going around the table either at dinner time or maybe during Sunday School giving thanks for something or someone.
I am feeling something different this year.
Instead of saying thanks for so-and-so, or thanks for my house, or food, or cat, or job....
... the focus now is on thanking God for ... God.
For His presence, His friendship, His sacrifice, His love, His mercy, His kindness...
... in all circumstances, all situations, all trials.
Especially in the circumstances, the situations and the trials.
Thank you God for never leaving me or forsaking me.
Thank you God for the unshakable Kingdom of which I am a part
Thank you God for Your friendship
Thank you God for Your wisdom
Thank you God for Your guidance and counsel
Thank you God for Your Word that is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path
Thank you God for Your sacrifice and redemption...
Hebrews
12:28-29 - Therefore, since we receive a kingdom which cannot be shaken, let us
show gratitude, by which we may offer to God an acceptable service with
reverence and awe; for our God is a consuming fire.
