Thanksgiving USA--the fun of Macy's Parade and football games; family get-togethers and friends; and who can forget the wonderful food--turkey, stuffing, mom's favorite cranberry salad, grandma's pumpkin pie! By the end of that wonderful day, we're ALL stuffed turkeys!
I LOVE Thanksgiving--it's one of my favorite days of the year. Bitter-sweet memories of a mom and dad at our dinner table, now banqueting with the King; funny memories of my first turkey, complete with photo to prove it; praiseful memories of all-church choirs in a festival of praise on Thanksgiving Eve.
And then it's over--for another year. I'd really like to sustain it for a life full of thanksgiving year-round. Wouldn't you? Especially on days when I'm stressed and tired--weary and upset. Not a thankful bone in my body. Can I celebrate then? Hardly, unless His Word abides deep within my heart, and I can pull from its resources into my hurting, unthankful world.
Now THAT gives me an idea! Thanks-LIVING verses to warm my life, to lift my spirit, to encourage and enrich--long after Thanksgiving is over. And so, since like me, you'll probably be turkey-stuffed big-time, I'll not stuff you with any more words. Instead, I'd like to share with you God's Word for your life--on Thanksgiving Day--and every day of the year!
A Helping Word...or Two!
Trustful heart
"Trust in the Lord with all thine heart, and lean not unto thine own understand. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths (Proverbs 3:5,6 KJV)."
Hopeful soul
"Why art thou cast down, O my soul? And why art thou disquieted within me? Hope in God; for I shall yet praise him, who is the health of my countenance, and my God (Psalm 43:5 KJV)."
