'Give thanks to the Lord'

Praise the Lord. Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good; his love endures forever.

-Psalm 106:1

Here in the United States, today is Thanksgiving Day.

Today, I am thankful for:

• Being alive.
• The notes and feedback from readers of this blog.
• A church home.
• The ability to work and exercise.
• Family and friends.
• And so much more.

Thankful to ...? Many people deserve thanks. But God is the ultimate source of all the blessings I've received, all the people who have come into my life.

And for that, especially on this day, I give thanks to the Lord.

What are you thankful for?

Happy Thanksgiving!

Can any one of you by worrying add a single hour to your life?

-Matthew 6:27

Happy Thanksgiving to all. Today, I'm especially thankful that I can bring God my worries.

We all have plenty of things we could worry about - money, health, family, work, to name a few. But in his Sermon on the Mount, Jesus cautions us that worry is a time-wasting, useless task. Today, I pray that I continue to bring God my worries and that helps me find a center of my life in Him.

On this Thanksgiving Day, thank God - literally - that I don't have to carry a burden of worries.
