Tomorrow is thanksgiving in the US. It’s a time for family to gather together and thank God for His many provisions. I like the tradition of going round the table and each person has to say what they have been most thankful for, in the past year. It’s a way for us to stop and think about the year: however hard it may have been, we can still be thankful for something.
But the most important thanksgiving we can and should give, is to God for who He is. When we take the focus of ourselves and put the focus on God then we can really be thankful. Then it’s easier when we go through trials to not feel overwhelmed, as we then remember who God is.
He is faithful, loving, good, all powerful, omniscient, omnipresent, our saviour, our comforter, our Lord, our righteousness, our healer, our sanctifier, our everlasting God.
It’s also a time to come before Him and just praise and thank Him for all He has and continues to do for us. And then we realise we get so much joy & blessing from doing this; we should concentrate on pure thanksgiving and praise to God throughout the year.
God thank you..
That Jesus died for my sins and so I am saved from myself
That I have eternal life with you
For the Holy Spirit, the comforter
For being patient with me when I am stubborn
For your unchanging love for me
For your faithfulness to me even when I am unfaithful to you
For caring about me and all my troubles
For wanting the ultimate best for me even when I don’t see it
For your beautiful creation that I can enjoy each day
THANK YOU!
Enjoy the day with your dog. If you take him a walk, you get a break and you can remember God’s goodness when you look around at God’s creation. Your dog can help you in your thanksgiving to God!

Psalm 95:1-6 –
O come, let us sing for joy to the LORD,
Let us shout joyfully to the rock of our salvation.
Let us come before His presence with thanksgiving,
Let us shout joyfully to Him with psalms.
For the LORD is a great God
And a great King above all gods,
In whose hand are the depths of the earth,
The peaks of the mountains are His also.
The sea is His, for it was He who made it,
And His hands formed the dry land.
Come, let us worship and bow down,
Let us kneel before the LORD our Maker.
O come, let us sing for joy to the LORD,
Let us shout joyfully to the rock of our salvation.
Let us come before His presence with thanksgiving,
Let us shout joyfully to Him with psalms.
For the LORD is a great God
And a great King above all gods,
In whose hand are the depths of the earth,
The peaks of the mountains are His also.
The sea is His, for it was He who made it,
And His hands formed the dry land.
Come, let us worship and bow down,
Let us kneel before the LORD our Maker.
