More Than Thankful

Greetings!

I cannot believe we just celebrated Thanksgiving. 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 that I’ve fallen short on a few of the things I wanted to achieve, but I have gone so much further in others, that it makes up for the ones that I may have missed.

This time of year also makes me think about the things that I am grateful for. The dictionary lists grateful as being appreciative of benefits received; thankful. Although, that is a good start, it doesn’t seem like enough when it comes to God. That means then that we have to show Him how grateful we are. But how do we do that you might ask? We do that through worship and praise. That means that we have to praise Him not because He’s done things for us, but simply because He is.

If we really understood the power that comes from loving and living for God, we would never stop praising Him! We have got to learn how to let go and really focus on God without having an agenda. So, this year, that's what my personal goal is going to be. I'm going to learn how to let God be God in my life and stop trying to understand everything. I don't need to know the plan, I just need to trust the man who does.

How many of you are ready to join me?

Until next time...

Be blessed!
