Giving Thanks for What You Have

What are you grateful for this year? Next week American's celebrate Thanksgiving, which is a time to remember all the good things in your life. For most of us, we are very lucky to have things like family, friends, and our faith for which we can give thanks. We are privileged to have a roof over our heads, a school to attend, clothes to wear, and people who care about us.

Yet not everyone has those things, and for some of us Thanksgiving is hard. So while you may be making your list of things to be grateful for, try to remember to pray for those who have very little. Join in some outreach or mission that can give those people living without food or safety a little bit of joy on this holiday.

Then, don't forget to pray for the things God has given you that offer you comfort and happiness.

Ephesians 5:20 - "always giving thanks to God the Father for everything, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ." (NIV)
