Preparing For Thanksgiving

Let’s think about how we can prepare our hearts for the Thanksgiving experience. We know it is much more than Turkey and Pumpkin Pie. Thanksgiving is about giving gratitude to God for all He has done for you. Think on these things . . .

• Thank God for something physical: your health.
• Thank God for something material: your house or car or a certain possession you enjoy.
• Thank God for your family: list them by name and tell God one specific thing you are grateful to Him for that is in their life.
• Thank God for your job: your boss, your colleagues, your salary, and so much more.
• Thank God for a friend: a special friend who replenishes your life.
• Thank God for something spiritual: name a specific spiritual blessing God has given to you.
• Thank God for some pleasure you enjoy: a specific thing you enjoy – from shopping to hunting to going to ballgames to hanging out with some special people.

Oh my friends, there is SO much to be thankful for in your life. There is no reason to grumble or complain. God is so very good to each of us.

Prepare your heart for Thanksgiving.
