God has blessed me with everything I have.  I am not rich, but have everything I need.  Sometimes I forget to thank God for being my provider.  This causes me to take Him for granted.

God commands us to be thankful. 1 Thessalonians 5:16 is, “Always be joyful.  Never stop praying. Be thankful in all circumstances, for this is God’s will for you who belong to Christ Jesus. (Holy Bible, New Living Translation, 2015). Being joyful and thankful helps me to trust and depend on God.  He commands me to be joyful and thankful so I think less of myself.  As I list things to be thankful for, I  reminded that I am nothing without God.

Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family!
