Thanksgiving - A Lifestyle

Thanksgiving doesn't occur just once a year. It should take place every single day. It's great that we as a country has a designated day of thanksgiving. It's laughable as to how so many are quick to celebrate "Helloween" but skip right over Thanksgiving.

It's indicative of our nation's attitude towards God. You know, people are just not thankful. They complain about everything but give thanks for nothing. How can the Lord bless such foolishness?

He's done so much for us. He's worthy of all the glory, thanks and praise. In fact, we praise Him for who He is, first and foremost. If He never does another thing, He's deserves our thanks and praise.

Question: When was the last time YOU gave God thanks and praise? Thanksgiving Day? Like I said, give God thanks EVERYDAY!

Thanksgiving is a lifestyle, no just a holiday.

Taken For Granted

Are you taking God for granted? Are you taking His grace & mercy for granted? It's amazing how people take Him for granted. In turn, they take people for granted, also.

I think of the passage where Jesus was invited to dinner. As they were eating, a woman comes in with the alabaster box of oil and anoints Jesus. The host begins to criticize her. Some of Jesus' disciples does the same thing. But Jesus basically tells them that they are taking Him for granted.

She respects and honors the Lord enough to give her best for Him. The host didn't even offer Jesus water to wash His feet. That was, at the least, the norm due to wearing sandals on the dusty roads.

The host took Jesus for granted. The woman didn't. Are you taking Jesus for granted today? I ask you to closely examine your life. Do you take people for granted? If so, I would suggest you straighten that out today. It's time to do better, in Jesus' Name.
