Too Busy to Give Thanks??

Wow! November got here quick!

It seems we all get so enthralled with the goings-on of Fall, that November and "Thanksgiving" sneek up on us suddenly.

We shouldn't really wait until November to be "thankful" - it should be a year round affair. We all tend to take things for granted and then suddenly become "thankful" in the month of November; why is that? Well, humanistic, I guess.

Philippians 4:6 says "Be careful for nothing (don't worry); but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God" (KJV)

He (God) is eager to hear our requests, but those requests are to be accompanied "with thanksgiving". Again, this is a year long process; always give thanks! Sometimes we need to bow before the Lord and just give thanks - not asking for anything; just being thankful!

I am thankful for everything God has "allowed" in my life - you know, it ALL is filtered thru Him; good and bad. As I've grown this year, I am even more thankful for the way God has worked. He could have let me "decide" on some things, but allowing Him to make those decisions for me, was and is the best way.

As we become more aware of God working, we will find ourselves "thanking" Him more than "asking" Him, for things. He loves us so much and when we finally learn that, we tend to love Him even more.

I thank Him, today, for Saving me 11 years ago!! What a difference in my life! More on that later....

Thanking Him today and everyday.......
