Thanks

Well, the anticipation has begun. It is the week of Thanksgiving, and many of us look forward to the feast that awaits us. Many of us look forward to spending time with our loved ones. Many of us dread this week altogether. Personally, I love this week. I love thinking about the things I have to be thankful for. I'm thankful for a beautiful and loving wife, a great marriage, healthy kids, parents who are close enough to live life together. I'm thankful for a great job and God's provision. 1 Chronicles 16:34 tells us to, "Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good; his love endures forever." I love this verse. David's Psalm of praise has a lot of good in it, but to think that we serve a God whose love endures forever is crazy. Forever has no ending, it's continual, never changing, it's forever. Forever is a word that we cannot comprehend. There is no ending so we do not understand how long it will last. There is no beginning so we do not know how long he has been loving us. Our minds are not capable of understanding forever. It's never changing. So, with that said; I give thanks to the Lord because he has blessed me and my family far beyond my imagination. He is good, perfect, whole, and loving. His love endures forever. What are you thankful for? Don't lose sight of the fact that we all have something to be thankful for regardless of our circumstance.
