“Be
thankful in all circumstances, for this is God’s will for you who belong to
Christ Jesus.” 1 Thessalonians 5:18
Happy Thanksgiving!
If you are like our family you realize
that you are very blessed and sometimes like our family you forget to rejoice
and thank God for those blessings.
Our family has known that we are a blessed
family and yet going through a deployment can heighten that awareness. Now that
Keith is back and we’re all getting back into a “normal” routine, it’s easy to
forget again.
I don’t want to forget. I want to remember
that while Keith was gone, God provided for our family in many ways. I want to
remember that Keith did find out what it was like to be in a war zone and how
God did protect him while he was there. I want to remember that some spouses
don’t come home alive or they come home as disabled veterans.
When our focus changes from complaining
about our circumstances to being thankful for our circumstances then we can see
how we’ve been blessed and we can thank the one that those blessings come from.
Before the rush of Christmas creeps into
your life, take a little time this Thanksgiving to remember how blessed your
family is and give thanks for those blessings.
