“Let us come into his presence with thanksgiving; let us make a joyful noise to him with songs of praise!” Psalm 95:2

At this time every year, we make a huge effort to make sure everyone has a good Thanksgiving.

And while there’s nothing wrong with that – we definitely need to be thankful for what our forefathers did for us, as well as for the many blessings we have as Americans…blessings that I’m afraid we’ve all taken for granted and can be lost in the blink of an eye.  

But I digress.

Let me suggest something to you this Thanksgiving.  

Take time to make a list of the 10 things you are most thankful for.

Now, don’t be surprised if you have more than 10 – thankfulness has a way of building momentum, once you get started!

Use this Thanksgiving to say thanks to the people you love and those who make your day run smoothly.

Pray for those who have trouble finding things for which to be thankful.

Maybe they’re alone this year, or homeless. Perhaps they’re having financial difficulties or even facing death or tremendous illness.

While you’re at it, thank God for all His blessings in your life. I promise if you do this, Thanksgiving will take on new meaning.
