HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

Just wanted to say Happy Thanksgiving! We have so many things to be thankful for this season and I love that we have a day (for now at least!) set aside for us to be particularly thankful.

I read in Jesus Calling this morning the following that I wanted to share. What a great reminder to read on Thanksgiving Eve.

"Thank Me frequently as you journey through today. This practice makes it possible to pray without ceasing, as the apostle Paul taught. If you are serious about learning to pray continually, the best approach is to thank Me in every situation. These thankful prayers provide a solid foundation on which you can build all your other prayers. Moreover, a greatful attitude makes it easier for you to communicate with Me."

"When your mind is occupied with thanking Me, you have no time for worrying or complaining. If you practice thankfulness consistently, negative though patterns will gradually grow weaker and weaker. Draw near to Me with a greatful heart, and My Presence will fill you with Joy and Peace."

--Taken from Jesus Calling, November 25

May this be a reminder to you also to keep a thankful heart throughout the year, not just on Thanksgiving Day.

Enjoy your day! Happy Thanksgiving!
