Be Thankful

The other day I was driving down the street counting my blessings and reminiscing on the goodness of God. Then, before I knew it I was overtaken with feelings of pure gratitude. I thought about how faithful God has been to me and how excited I was about being alive and knowing Him. Nothing outside of God concerned me at that time. It didn't matter what material things I had or didn't have, but what did matter was my acknowledgement of a loving God. My heart and my mind was strictly focused on Him with an attitude of gratitude. What about you? Have you taken time out of your busy life lately just to think of the goodness of God and to thank Him? If not, now would be the perfect time to do so. Psalm 136:1 states, "O give thanks unto the Lord; for he is good: for his mercy endureth forever."   

Be Thankful ~ Poem
 
Thankfulness is an expression that should last throughout the year. We all should be grateful and rejoice that we're still here. For God has been so good and so very kind. We shouldn't thank Him once a year, but thank Him all the time.
