| Happy Thanksgiving!! |
It is natural to reflect on the things we are thankful for as we approach Thanksgiving. I have so many things to be thankful for I can't even keep track.
One idea I've read about in several readings lately is the importance and benefit of being thankful. In fact, being thankful is a great way to bring more blessings into our lives.
Think of times you've gone out of your way to help someone or gave to someone else. Sometimes people don't appreciate it as much as we would like. It doesn't feel great when that happens, and it doesn't make us want to do things for those people again. On other occasions we definitely know people appreciate our assistance or good deeds based on what they say or the way they respond. When we receive a positive response it makes us want to do more for those people.
I believe it is the same when God gives to us. If we are thankful and sincerely communicate our gratitude, it is natural that He would want to give us more.
My challenge for myself and anyone else is to look for and see the greatness of God regularly throughout our day, taking every opportunity to be thankful. It will make our day better and help us positively impact those around us. It will also lead to many more blessings and reasons to be thankful.
I wish you a very Happy Thanksgiving!!
