Every preschool has their own little prayer song, and my daughter's goes like this: "God we thank you. God we thank you for this day, for this day. And for all our good food and for all our good friends. Thank you God. Thank you God."
When I really pause and think about what I am truly thankful for, my mind is flooded with options. This time of year makes us more mindful of thanking God. If I have too many things to list, however, why can I not pause and thank God daily for all these things? Despite the difficulties of life, love and loss, hurt and heartbreak - I will choose to be thankful. Romans 8:28 says, "And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to His purpose."
Let's join up this Thanksgiving, and sing the Lord's praises for the good things he gives us and for the good He can bring from the things that aren't so good-feeling.
"Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace. And be thankful." Colossians 3:15
