Thanksgiving Blessings

Thanksgiving has the power to change more than our waistline. Truly giving thanks changes our perspective. Our lives are filled with opportunities to worry and fret. We often worry about things that are completely out of our control. How could giving thanks to God change your perspective?

“Your heavenly Father already knows all your needs,
and he will give you all you need from day to day if you live for him
and make the Kingdom of God your primary concern.” Matthew 6:32-33

Do not worry about anything in life—
what you’ll eat, or what you’ll wear.
Look at the birds of the air,
or the flowers in the field.
If God takes such good care of birds and flowers,
how much more will He care for you?
So don’t be afraid.
Instead, let your lives be marked by compassion and generosity,
sharing what you have been given with those in need,
storing up your treasure in heaven
instead of here on earth.
And may the blessing of God—Creator, Redeemer and Sustainer—
encourage and strengthen you in every good word and deed. - Christine Longhurst

I give you thanks, O Lord, with my whole heart; before the gods I sing your praise;
I bow down toward your holy temple and give thanks to your name for your steadfast love and your faithfulness; for you have exalted your name and your word above everything.
On the day I called, you answered me, you increased my strength of soul. - Psalm 138:1-3

Happy Thanksgiving,
