I noticed a friend was doing a, Giving Thanks on Purpose on Facebook and as I thought about it, we have so much to "on purposefully" be thankful for. Yet do we really show our thanks, or tell the Lord thank you. Maybe it's doing something for another that you are thankful for. Maybe spending extra time in prayer thanking the Lord for all he's done for you, your family, your church, etc.
I know so many times November is looked at as the Thankful month, but when we stop and think about it isn't every day, every month, and every year is a time we can be thankful?!
So I'm not going to do the 30 days of Thanksgiving, but I'm going to simply be thankful ALL the time. Yes on Thanksgiving we take a little extra time to show our thankfulness; but not just for this short 30 days but year around show, tell, and express how Thankful you are ON PURPOSE!
Psalms 95:2 "Let us come before his presence with thanksgiving, and make a joyful noise unto him with psalms."
When we come before the Lord in prayer we should be giving thanks. After all he gave us life, breath, the ability to walk and talk. He gave us food, clothes, housing, and so much more. Make a joyful noise yea maybe you don't sing but that's ok!
So as we do enter the Thanksgiving season remember to be thankful but then even afterwards make sure to be thankful all year long.
