Colossians 3:12-17
bold and italics added for emphasis by moi.
So often during this time of year we rush through Thanksgiving... pausing briefly to "give thanks" before loading up on turkey and pie... stuffing and potatoes... gravy and green beans...
I've been soaking in Colossians 3 a lot lately... and I've been challenged... challenged to actually do what this passage outlines... not just on Thanksgiving... but everyday...
So Tomorrow... on Thanksgiving... and today... and the day after Thursday... and the day after that...
I will work hard... to soak in the goodness and grace of the mighty God I serve... I will work hard to dwell in sweet thankfulness...
I won't just pause to pray a short prayer of "thanks" to the Lord...
Instead, I will sit in His goodness... I will rest in His love...
I will press thankfulness firmly on my little old heart...
Instead, I will sit in His goodness... I will rest in His love...
I will press thankfulness firmly on my little old heart...
Happy Thanksgiving dear friend... I hope that tomorrow finds you enjoying good food with good friends... and I pray that thankfulness presses upon you... not just tomorrow, but everyday...
