What are you thankful for this month?

It’s an interesting time of year, houses are already decked out in Christmas lights- my neighbor even has a Grinch on the porch already! I love Christmas too, but what happened to Thanksgiving? Why are we skipping the fantastic season of pausing to give thanks?

I have a LOT of reasons to be grateful, but I don’t find myself pausing often to thank God for all the blessings in my life. November is half over and I don’t want this season to pass me by. There are many prayers that have been answered in the past few months, and even the past week! What keeps me from saying ‘thank you’?

Time. It always comes down to time. I have enough of it, I just forget to say it. When someone does something nice for me, I always say thank you, so why don’t I take that time to thank God? He has done more than I can even fathom for me- many things I will never know.

The Bible tells in many books and verses to praise, to give thanks, and I don’t always listen. For the rest of this month, not just the day of Thanksgiving, I will intentionally thank God for all the blessings in my life. What about you? Will you pause and thank God for all of the blessings in your life?
