it seems to me, that culturally, we tend to focus on 'thanks'... for one day a year... and not really well if you ask me.
Maybe it is because I am getting older, but has anyone else noticed how Christmas decorations are up in the store now even before the Halloween Candy has run out? I seem to remember a time when they waited for the decorations until Thanksgiving was over. Now we hear more about Black Friday sales, than about what we are thankful for, we seem much more preoccupied with our own greed.
All throughout the Psalms, David gives thanks for his God. In Psalm 100 David tells us to be joyful.... Not because of what we are going to get in the next big sale... but because we have a Lord ... and HE is GOD!
Make sure you take a bit of time.... whatever day it is, and be be joyful and glad for God and who He is.
Amen!
