Giving Thanks Where Thanks Is Due

As we approach the time honored tradition of stuffing our faces with food, let us not forget the true meaning behind this holiday.

Well, okay we'll overlook the part of the Pilgrim's getting high with the Native Americans with the "peace pipe" and really focus on the intent of the special day.

With so much disaster and death going around us, let us big thankful for the little things. So often, we get bogged down with what we don't have like the brand new house or car, the significant other from heaven (okay that's me), or a large bank account; that we don't appreciate the small things like....

Living.

Living is something that we take for granted. God doesn't have to allow us to get up and breathe. Remember that if you're still here on this earth, then you're still here for a reason. You still have some unfinished work for the Lord left to do. Although you may be struggling financially or emotionally, just know that your struggle is not in vain and through your hardships is a blessing waiting to find you.

So on the night before the eve of Thanksgiving take this post and read it and savor it and then go eat some turkey and dressing.
