   Psalm 100: 1-2
"Shout for Joy to the Lord, all the earth.
Worship the Lord with Gladness;
come before him with joyful songs!"


Thanksgiving is just a bump in the road to Christmas for retailers but it is my favorite holiday. I think Thanksgiving deserves more of our attention than that.  It is our opportunity to take a break from the hectic rat race and actually sit down with friends and family with hearts filled with gratitude.
Around the Thanksgiving table my family always talked about the things we were thankful for. Today I find my self utilizing Facebook to gather with my friends and family to testify about the bountiful blessings in my life.  However and whenever you have the opportunity to express gratitude I would encourage you to take the time to reflect on the bounty of blessings in your own life.  I believe gratitude is transformative.
