Thankful

We just celebrated Thanksgiving in Canada which is a great feast of family fun and turkey! I have been so struck by how important it is to be thankful for the small stuff. Thankfulness is such a foundational attitude which can determine how we view life and how we react when things either go great or even how we endure in the hard times as well. I have been thinking about how thankfulness is like an antidote to discontentment or selfishness or any of the the other ugly things that surface in me when I forget to say thanks.
So today I am trying to walk around being thankful and let's face it there are many things to be thankful for. On a more spiritual note I was also thinking about how the bible teaches us to be thankful in all circumstances and how hard this is especially in the tough times! With this in mind I thought how even if life is really tough and I am suffering loss or grief there is still an eternal hope that I have, the hope that one day I will pass through the veil of death and in that moment all suffering will cease forever and for this I am unbelievably thankful for what Christ has done on the cross for me.
So that's me on this thankgiving weekend in Canada.
Oh I almost forgot.....Thanks for popping by!!
Graham. |
