Seasons of Thanksgiving
1st Thessalonians 5:16-18
“Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.”
During this time of year, we gather together to celebrate family and friends and reflect on what we are thankful for. We may also find it easy to focus on thankfulness when a holiday is centered around it, but then what are we doing the rest of the year? Do we need a special occasion to reflect on Yahweh’s goodness? If so, our intent needs to change.
Thankfulness should be the foundation of our lives. It should be in every season of our lives. We shouldn’t need a reminder or an event. We should start and end our day with it. My encouragement to you this week is to remember to be thankful at all times. If you are only considering this once a year, begin to be intentional about making thankfulness an every day practice.
