That special time of year is upon us again. Perhaps the only time of the year many of us take a moment to ponder what we are truly thankful for in our lives. Why is this? I think, perhaps we tend to forget what we are truly thankful to have or survived. The people we have known; whom have gone on before us, people whom have been a minor or integral part of our lives; have influenced our daily perspective of the world around us, were we thankful for the time we had them with us? Did we thank them for their daily influence in our lives? Too often we get warped up in our daily routines that we forget to acknowledge the people whom have molded us into what we have become. Are we thankful on a daily basis? Do we remember to give thanks? Perhaps one day before our souls leave our bodies and we gather around the Throne of God, the first thing on our minds will be how thankful we are for all Gods blessings.

We receive Gods blessings everyday.  Even in our darkest hours, HE is with us and ready to help us as soon as we ask.  I can’t imagine for even a moment, God having a look of surprise on his face and responding, “WOW you what? I didn’t see that coming”.  When my children were small, I remember the times when one would keep trying, I would offer to help, but the head-strong child would turn away determined to do it their self. Only when they were completely exasperated, did they hand it over for help.  Even as adults, we tend to believe that we can do it by ourselves and don’t require any assistance.  Only when we “Let Go and Let GOD” take care of  the issue, do we find resolution/closure.  By chronologizing the blessings in my life, perhaps others might see GOD working in their own lives.
