Thankfulness

So thankful for this little person!

On Thursday this week, we celebrate Thanksgiving in America.  Why does it take a national holiday to be reminded of giving thanks?  Why can't we give thanks everyday?  Why shouldn't we give thanks everyday?

Yesterday at church, the sermon was about finding joy in scarcity.  The pastor wrapped up a 4-week series from the book of Habakuk.  Chuck Swindoll on "Insight for Living" has been preaching from Job, "What if you suddenly lose everything".  Alistair Begg on "Truth for Life" has been rerunning a series on "Lessons from the Dungeon" from the life of Joseph.  God has been so good in reminding me to be thankful in feast and famine, in plenty and scarcity, in the good times and bad.

So, I am thankful today and everyday!
