Thanksgiving

"Enter His gates with thanksgiving and His courts with praise; give thanks to Him and praise His name."  Psalm 100:4

This Thursday is the Thanksgiving holiday in the U.S.  It was always one of my favorite holidays - especially as we shared what we were thankful for as we sat around the table.  I miss the turkey, dressing, and pumpkin pie - but most of all I miss family and sharing thankfulness. 

My mind has been reeling with all the things I'm thankful for.  The list is endless because God has been so good to me.  Even as I lift up current needs to Him, I can't help but think of all the answers to prayer in recent years.  I am thankful, thankful, thankful!!

"Give thanks in all circumstances."  1 Thessalonians 5:18 

"I will give thanks to you, Lord, with all my heart; I will tell of all your wonderful deeds."  Psalm 9:1

"Give thanks to the Lord, for He is good.  His love endures forever."  Psalm 136:1 

"It is good to give thanks to the Lord.  Psalm 92:1a

"Praise the Lord, my soul, and forget not all His benefits."  Psalm 103:2

Someone said "Gratitude is when memory is stored in the heart and not in the mind."  My heart is full to overflowing with gratitude!!
