I’m learning a lot about thanksgiving – not happy, happy, joy, joy Snoopy dancing thanksgiving.
I’m talking about thanksgiving running deep through my veins bringing life to my weary bones.
I’m talking a place of contentment not dependent on circumstances.
I’m talking thanksgiving that swaddles me at night when I close my eyes for sweet sleep and say, “Thank You, Lord. It is well with my soul.” And mean it.
The world can’t take this kind of thankfulness away from me. Money may evaporate. Jobs pop on and off the radar screen. Good health is a question on the best of days.
But, God.
God is constant.
God is for me.
He is with me.
He is fighting my battles.
He is sheltering, providing, comforting.
God is giving me peace in the storm, a firewall against the blaze that burns.
Through You, Lord, hope like no other reaches to me.
Thank You, Lord.

Happy Thanksgiving to you, too! I love how the Lord orchestrates cyber-friendships. I'd say that's another thing to be thankful for. Sweet blessings to you!
Happy Thanksgiving to You!
Thank you for the reminder that true thanksgiving isn't in response to the fickleness of life, but on the faithfulness of our Lord. Happy Thanksgiving, sweet friend.
