November is the month that every Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, social media user, posts - for everyone else to see - what they are thankful for. Every year I go through read a couple and only get touched by a few - the ones who truly get the meaning of Thanksgiving, those are the posts that make me tear up.
The posts that touch my soul are the ones that get that November is NOT the only month to be thankful for our many blessings. God gives us so much and we are to be grateful every DAY, not just one month a year. These posts are the ones that show others that they are thankful for God's grace, God's love, and God's hand on their lives when they give all the glory to Him. They thank GOD for giving them the families they have, the people they have befriended, the strangers that touch their lives, their homes, success, even failures which have shaped and molded them into who they are now. The most touching posts are the ones that give thanks to God for the things that most people wouldn't even think of.
This Thanksgiving we need to write down on a piece of paper, or in a notebook (it doesn't have to be public) , all that we are thankful for. Then we can have a time of prayer. Thank God for all He has so graciously given us.
