This week is Thanksgiving week a time of reflection , family, friends, and blessings galore. No matter what your circumstances we have a choice each day to approach this day this gift with Thanksgiving and Gratitude. God put us on this earth not to endure but to enjoy life. As each day begins we have a choice to make Do we start the day with gratitude and thanksgiving?

Have you ever been in bed and started thinking about today’s activities? I don’t want to deal with these children, I don’t want to go to work, I have so many problems, Nothing goes right for me.

Or do you get out of bed thinking about how wonderful your kids are, How grateful you are to have a job, these problems I have are not mountains and are merely mole hills and God is preparing for me for Great things, He is blessing me and any setback I have is just a moment away from the greatest blessing of my life. With this change of attitude every morning do you know what you just did?

You just prepared for increase, greatness, accomplishing your dreams, this attitude allows God to show up and show out! In the book of James :

2Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds, 3because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance. 4Perseverance must finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything. 5If any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to him. 6But when he asks, he must believe and not doubt.

When you change your attitude at the beginning of each day you can prepare for increase for Gods favor and Gods blessings. So be in Gratitude in everything.

So this week as we reflect on Thanksgiving just remember Every day’s a Holiday, Every meals a Feast! God has you right in the palm of his hand.

May God Bless you and keep you.
