Happy Thanksgiving Day

this day is a good tradition.  there is much about it that i really enjoy.  our fancy dinner…watching football together… hanging out with family and friends…it really is a good day.  but don’t be deceived.

genuine gratitude is not to be reserved for a day.  it is to be the defining mark of our existence.  every day.  all day.  all the time.

And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.  Colossians 3:17 Be joyful always;  pray continually;  give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.  1 Thessalonians 5:16-18

…and a little wisdom from g.k.chesterton:

“You say grace before meals. All right. But I say grace before the concert and the opera, and grace before the play and pantomime, and grace before I open a book, and grace before sketching, painting, swimming, fencing, boxing, walking, playing, dancing and grace before I dip the pen in the ink.”
