How many times does my Heavenly Father go without even a whisper of thanks upon my lips for the countless moments He moves on behalf in my life. I wonder if He feels the disappointment that I or my husband feel when our hard work goes unnoticed?
The Lord has done so many Great things for me. How can I go without giving Thanks? I am not speaking of just the obvious but of the moments in my life left unspoken. Finances provided at just that instant of need. A hug given by a precious teen, unaware of just how much I longed for one. A familiar face who had once cared for me long ago gave up their precious time to sit awhile with me in the wee hours of the night, sharing their story with one longing for conversation.
So so so many reasons I have to be immensely thankful for this Season. Family. Friends. Laughter shared. Fond memories of a loved one's recent passing. And the gifts that continue to come our way. I speak not of the monetary but of those far more of value. Conversations with those whom I cherish will be shared around the dinner table. New memories to be made. The opportunity for me to love on those so dear to my heart. Precious moments that are few and far between. Oh how they will not be taken for granted for I am truly thankful for them. As I am truly thankful for each and everyone of you who have enriched my life tremendously and have helped make me the woman I am today.
Enter his gates with thanksgiving and his courts with praise; give thanks to him and praise his name. For the Lord is good and his love endures forever; his faithfulness continues through all generations. ~ Psalm 100:4-5
