"I have not stopped giving thanks for you, remembering you in my prayers." Ephesians 1:16
"Sing and make music in your heart to the Lord, always giving thanks to God the Father for everything, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ." Ephesians 5:19-20
Being thankful is not something that comes easily. It's a choice. It's a discipline. When things are going poorly and it's hard to see the goodness in a situation, stop and think of three things that you are thankful for. This helps so much in remembering that God is good all the time. And all the time, God is good.
So, in the spirit of Thanksgiving (my favorite holiday, cranberry salsa YUM!!) here are three things I am thankful for.
1. Friends who spoil me and show me immense love. Friends who will put their hair in french braids, cook french toast, buy french onion dip, french baguettes, french kisses and sparkling wine just to surprise me with a going away party before leaving for France. I feel so undeserving.
2. Reuniting with some of my oldest friends for a weekend of football and freezing fun in Baton Rouge.
3. Spending time at home with family, feeling refreshed and rejuvenated.
Happy Thanksgiving :)
