Thank You!!

"Thank You"

Those two words seem to be on the endangered list today. Some parents teach their children to say "Thank You"; however, each day it seems like I hear these two words less and less. In a society that is increasingly "me" oriented and overloaded with technology and possessions, it is increasingly rare to hear people simply say "THANKS." And, I will admit, that it is easy to take blessings for granted.

To many people this Thursday is known as "Turkey Day." Christians should certainly be the ones to lead the way in offering thanks. Indeed, we have the most to be thankful for. We count out blessings not only in the abundance of provision and possession, but also in the great spiritual blessings that have been bestowed upon us.

A verse that comes to mind is 2 Cor 9:15 NASB - "Thanks be to God for His indescribable gift!"
The gift of salvation through Jesus Christ is our greatest possession.

Possessing this eternal gift, we should find it no challenge to "always give thanks" as the apostle Paul urged believers and to give thanks for all things even our smallest blessings.

So, this week, as I spend time with my family and renew our annual traditions, I will take time and thank the Lord for the gift of salvation and the Call He has placed on my life.

Lots of Love,
Kim
