I have thought for a long time about making a blog about Thanksgiving. I love thinking about thankfulness and the holiday, but I took a while before I knew I just simply must post a blog on this topic. After all, I want to be thinking much more about all the good things God gives me every day. Additionally, I love holidays and Thanksgiving in particular.
When I am giving thanks, I often think of award ceremonies where celebrities are awarded and they try in a few brief moments to thank everyone in their lives that have helped them reach their achievement. I certainly would run out of lifetime before I even got close to thanking everyone and God for every blessing that has brought me to this point in my life.
Still, taking time to tell of the blessings of life is not a lost cause by any means. I need to think about such things, and everyone benefits from thinking over good and positive things that happen in this world. We all face enough of the bad everyday. We need to balance our thinking by concentrating on the good things for our own sake and the sake of every other life we touch.
Besides, everyone likes to be thanked. Even God says that He lives in the praise of His children. (See Psalm 22:3.) From this statement we know where His thoughts want to linger.
