Forever Grateful

"I will extol the Lord at all times; His praise will always be on my lips. My soul will boast in the Lord; let the afflicted hear and rejoice. Glorify the Lord with me; let us exalt His name together." (Psalm 34:1-3 NIV)

We have come yet again to another Thanksgiving season. At this time of year there is a special emphasis on being grateful or giving thanks. How many of us have grown up with the tradition of going around the family table and declaring the reason we are thankful? While it is important to acknowledge our gratitude for many things, let us not forget that giving thanks is not reserved for one special time of the year. As the psalmist declares in Psalm 34, we are to extol the Lord at all times, for it is the Lord who is the giver of all good and gracious gifts (James 1:17) My prayer this Thanksgiving is that we will awaken everyday with gratitude in our hearts and will forever praise the One who has given us the greatest reason to be thankful--Jesus.

A blessed Thanksgiving to you all!
