So blessed this Thanksgiving

Today, I just feel so blessed to be God's child and to be on this ministry of giving He has for me. How I yearn that others will want to do the same. I dream of my book being a catalyst for how people really steward their funds so they can give more. To experience that joy and also that responsibility we are called to. In the country of mine (Canada) we have so many privileges and freedoms that we just take for granted. Many of us don't acknowledge where they truly come from. Who our Creator is. Who Jesus is and the sacrifice He made for us. This year Thanksgiving is actually on Monday, not Sunday. Not on what is traditionally thought of as the Lord's day. When Christians go to church to worship their God and learn about Him through His Word.
But to me, today is Thanksgiving and I have so much to be thankful for. I admit that I have been struggling with depression quite severely. Yesterday I went for prayer for healing which I happened to see through face book. It was amazing because I feel so at peace today with a heart full of love for my Lord God, family and friends.
The turkey feast I prepared for my sister was such a joy to prepare knowing the busyness in her own life with her own family and her two jobs. The fact that I had this abundance of food was amazing also with a whole meal for leftovers for her family, a care package for a friend, and enough for me to make some amazing soup!
God is so good.
Then to finish my entertaining part of my day, I got an invitation to a girlfriends house for turkey dinner tomorrow. God is abundantly good. Think of one thing you are thankful for even if you are in a very dark valley in your life. He is there. He knows your pain. He sheds your tears. Just call out to Him. He will never give you more than you can handle.
God bless you beloved. Today and throughout the year. Feel free to write any stories of special blessings you have received or what you are thankful for. I may use them for my book. Then spread the word of this site to others!!
