A Few Thoughts on this HAPPY THANKSGIVING...

Wanted to wish all of you a Happy Thanksgiving. May it be safe and one in which all of us can really pause in our busy and crazy lives and take a few moments (several days actually) and remember what we should be thankful for.

By the way my life has been lately and the way my attitude has been, I *REALLY* do need to take these next few days to be constantly reminded of what I do need to be thankful. I can't lie, though, at times I do feel as though I'm a hypocrite, one which feels more isolated and silently angry more now than in past months. Again, maybe I'm not thankful enough???

This leads me to a Bible Verse (actually several)...

- Psalm 107:1 (NIV) "Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good; his love endures forever."

- Psalm 100 (KJV) "Make a joyful noise unto the LORD, all ye lands. Serve the LORD with gladness: come before his presence with singing. Know ye that the LORD he is God: it is he that hath made us, and not we ourselves; we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture. Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise: be thankful unto him, and bless his name. For the LORD is good; his mercy is everlasting; and his truth endureth to all generations."

(There are a host of other Bible Verses which can be used on Thanksgiving - which as a friend of mine once stated that it should be rather a way of life and not only a day.)

After reading these Bible Verses, I was reminded of how important it is to be thankful even when it is a struggle to be. I guess it's also okay to be thankful for everything in life including those things which can challenge and even annoy you. (Maybe?)

Well, I need to close this post for now. Again, Happy Thanksgiving!!!
