Perhaps it takes a purer faith to praise God for unrealized blessings than for those we once enjoyed or those we enjoy now. ~A.W. TozerToday of all days in the year is considered a day when we reflect on how much we have to be thankful for; however, I strongly believe that everyday should be a reflection of how lucky we are to be alive in this world. As I sit here in my childhood room, amid my peacefully sleeping cats and enjoying the warmth of my abode, I can't help but know how good I have it. Now more than ever I am made aware of what it is to be loved and how that feeling comes about. Such a strange and wonderful event that happens in your life. I commend you to take notice when it comes into your life - I promise it will forever change you. This isn't just in the people we know and admire, friends and family, or people we chance to meet that left an imprint on our hearts. No, love and thankfulness are much more than that. I would be nothing and would be void of all happiness if I were without a wonderful Father, who continually shows me how much He loves me. Because of this unending and beautiful love I am able to take this and give it to those that mean the most to me.That old song says,"How Great the Father's Love for us/How vast beyond all measure". How true this is for those of us who have experienced this love and who try to give others this same love and happiness. We love because He first loved us, and beyond that we should be forever grateful.
Happy Happy Thanksgiving, and may His blessings and love surround you today and everyday.
