Let us come before His presence with thanksgiving; let us shout joyfully to Him. — Psalm 95:2 Don't Forget Thanksgiving by Zondervan, from 365 Devotions for a Thankful Heart Let us come before His presence with thanksgiving; let us shout joyfully to Him. — Psalm 95:2
Have you ever noticed how after Halloween, many stores immediately bring out their prelit trees, ornaments, Christmas wreaths, and candy canes? The weeks between Halloween and Christmas are often a blur of colored leaves and turkey, prepping for gift shopping, and holiday parties.
In the frenzy of holiday preparations and Black Friday deals, it can be all too easy for us to skim over Thanksgiving. Sure, we serve the turkey and gravy, and mention what we're grateful for, but do we linger on giving thanks? Or once the Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals come out, do we immediately focus on all the things we want and all the savings we could have? Are we more excited about counting the gifts than we are about counting our blessings?
When the retail world becomes loud, ask the Lord to speak louder. When your eyes become focused on the newest, shiniest gadgets, ask Jesus to fix your eyes on Him and His gifts — and on the greatest gift of salvation.
Don't let autumn and its season of gratitude get lost in the blur of Christmas fanfare. Let Thanksgiving have its day — and its attitude — in your heart.
Father, I'm so grateful for an annual reminder to give You thanks. Keep me focused on all I have, not on all I want.
Growing in Gratitude
In this world of both instant communication and Instant Pots, it's important to remember that some important things come slowly. Hear the wisdom of radio host and author Nancy Leigh DeMoss:
The grateful heart that springs forth in joy is not acquired in a moment; it is the fruit of a thousand choices. ~ Choosing Joy
As much as we may want to live with a heart rooted in gratitude, we can't flip a switch or push a button to make that happen. Arriving at the point is a process, and by definition a process takes time.
Every new day gives us countless opportunities to develop gratitude. Think of it: with everything we see, hear, taste, touch, think, and experience, we can choose to be grateful. Review your day so far. Identify a handful of moments when you expressed thankfulness — and another handful when you could have, and be grateful now!
Many things develop and improve over time. Today let's be encouraged that we are more thankful today than we were yesterday — and that we can choose to be even more thankful tomorrow.
Lord, give me a keener awareness and appreciation of Your goodness every day. Excerpted with permission from 365 Devotions for a Thankful Heart, copyright Zondervan.
Your Turn
It's November! The month of thankfulness! Before we move straight to Christmas planning, shopping, wrapping, and celebrating, let's remember every day to be thankful. What are you thankful for?

If you are wondering where the pages that contained the words "excerpt", "Introducing" or other words indicating I was quoting a book have all gone, I migrated all of them over to Posts and Posted them all on August 18 and August 19 2024. I did that so you could use the search widget that is built in to the blog on the upper right hand corner. You will be happy to know that there are more of them than just the batch that were migrated, there were also lots of posts that contained the same words that did not have to be migrated over, they were there all along. I am really enjoying doing introductions and excerpts because it really makes for powerful and fascinating reading when I do them. You get the feeling you are in a bookstore holding a book in your hand looking at the table of contents and deciding whether or not to buy the book.

Contributions Welcome
The following request applies to any of the christian ministries that are currently getting visitors from my blog:
I am currently blogging: https://webmaster220.blogspot.com
I would like to place a banner on the right side of my home page that promotes your ministry
If I do that and it helps your ministry grow and expand do you have a suggestion as to what type of commission or contribution could be paid to my ministry. The reason I am saying that is there are a lot of ministries out there that are buying advertising space online and yours could be one of them for all I know. I have been an affiliate marketer for years on my blog but no commissions have ever been earned even though I am doing everything required to be done to earn the commissions. My blog readers are just not interested in spending any money on any of the goods or services discussed in my banner ads and text links. To reply, use the contact form below this paragraph Thanks, Rick Livermore - Webmaster220
