Giving Thanks...


That we can look out over the sea or into the stars and feel thanks for this life is evidence enough that there is someone to thank. In this, our national time of Thanksgiving we should reflect not only on what we have to feel thankful for…but on whom we should be thanking. We accepted the guidance of The Most High God in building this, the greatest nation on earth. Now that we are enjoying the fruits the labor of our forefathers we need to remember our Heavenly Father. Without His guidance and blessing we would be nothing. Without Him central in our lives we will come to nothing. We need to give thanks every day because every day is a gift from God. I could not demean the Most High by referring to Him as my ‘higher power’ or lower Him by equating Him with something He created. God is above and beyond anything we can conceive. The most amazing thing about Him is that He cares about us… We owe Him every breath we draw because each one is His gift to us. For those that feel they have nothing to be thankful for…look around. The hand of God is everywhere. The blessings of God are everywhere. Because we have become so accustomed to seeing Gods miracles every day…we have forgotten that they are miracles. Stop and take notice. If you do…you’ll find a "Thank You" coming out of you almost without thought. It is as natural as the air we breathe.

Amen...
