I haven't posted in a while because I've been tied up with school projects, but I wanted to take just a second today and post a quick little something.
With Thanksgiving only a little over a week away, many people are busy with holiday preparations, approaching finals and final projects in school, etc. But are we pausing in the midst of the chaos to give thanks? I know I haven't been as much as I should have--but it's never too late to start! :)
The book of Psalms is full of passages expressing thanksgiving to God. Psalm 118 is one example. I would encourage you to take a moment to read it today (it's not long) and give thanks to God for all He has done--and is doing--in your life. I will take some time out to do the same. If you're having trouble finding things to be thankful for, start with the basics: life, salvation, food to eat, a roof over your head, etc. Once you start, other things will come to mind.
Giving thanks should be a regular part of our lives--not just something we do once a year on the fourth Thursday in November.

Excellent word, Liz! You are right...it is very easy to get into the chaotic busy-ness of the holidays (ooooh, I can't stand it...it wears me down into my soul!) and forget WHY we are celebrating.
I am so grateful that you are reminding everyone!
Have a blessed week...you are dearly loved and missed at Harvest. "Soon enough", though, we shall be seeing you again!!
