Giving Thanks
It’s incredible to think that we are almost at the end of the year, and as usual it makes me think back over the past year. I start wondering if I’ve accomplished at least some of the things I set out to do. I know this year has been different for all of us to say the least. But, even with that, I know I have fallen short on a few of the things that I wanted to achieve. The sad part is that I can’t even blame it on the pandemic (Which seems to be the “go to” for anything left undone these days).
There are many who didn’t make it through this year. And although that thought makes me incredibly sad. It also made me realize that it is going to be up to us, the ones who have, to share how grateful we are that we are still here…
I looked up the word grateful in the dictionary, and it lists grateful as being, appreciative of benefits received; thankful. Although, that is a good start, it just doesn’t seem like enough. Psalm 9:1 says, “I will give thanks to you, Lord, with all my heart; I will tell of all your wonderful deeds.” There is enough negativity going around. We can’t keep dwelling on all the things that have gone wrong this year. Our job then is to take advantage of every opportunity to tell others about the great things that God has done.
We have got to learn how to let go and focus on God without having an agenda. Let Him really take control. So, that’s what my personal goal is going to be for 2021. I’m going to learn how to let God be God in my life and not hesitate to tell everyone of His wonderful works.
How many of you are ready to join me?
Until next time…
Be blessed!
