Do we really " Give Thanks on Thanksgiving"?
Oh how easy it is to be thankful when everything is going " our way". However..... when life gets hard- we find it harder to be thankful.
Do we have a thankful attitude towards God when times are hard? When we are hurting... In those times we need to stop... and pray for a thankful heart.
Ask God to help you to understand his love and his plans for your life.
A Thanksgiving Day Prayer.....
Lord, so often times, as any other day
When we sit down to our meal and pray
We hurry along and make fast the blessing
Thanks, amen. Now please pass the dressing
We are slaves to the olfactory overload
We must rush our prayer before the food gets cold
But Lord, I'd like to take a few minutes more
To really give Thanks to what I am Thankful for....
Even though my family often drives me crazy- I am thankful this year, that we made it through this year with the safety and health of my kids, husband, parents, and rest. Thank you father for all you do- to protect me and my family. We have no idea the daily battles that go on all around us.
This year I want to be different-
Father - grant me a kind, gentle and thankful heart.
