A time to be thankful

As we get closer and closer to the 4th Thursday in November we get closer and closer to showing appreciation and thankfulness. I am thankful for many things in my life and I could just go on for a while at why I am thankful, but that isn't the true purpose to this blog. To be honest as growing up in a Christian home I realize that being thankful is something that I learn and appreciate each passing day. Speaking on Spiritual terms being thankful to God is one thing that I know that I need to show as well as everyone else. But it just isn't around this time of year to showthat. It's an everyday thing. I sit there and when I wake up in the morning and look at my wife and see and understand in Genesis how God created woman for man it gives me a better appreciation and thankfulness towards God and then seeing my son it always give comfort and understanding of how truly thankful I am when it comes to seeing him and how awesome our Creator is. Then I look outside and step out there and see everything that he made for us in 6 days I truly want to express my thyankfulness to him for that.

Thanksgiving comes and goes but our attitude should never change. When we lack with thankfulness we don't appreciate things as much and unfortunately society has taken a big hit on this. But I just want to give words of strength and comfort to everyone who reads this. God wants us to obey Him (Matthew 6:33). To seek Him and His kingdom. But it comes through obedience (Romans 1:16; Mark 16:16). Our best way of showing this thankfulness to Him is to obey Him and want tio seek Him and have the Hope of eternal salvation. It comes through Hearing His Word, Believing it, Repenting of sins, Confessing your Belief, Being Baptized, and Living Faithfully to Death. That is the best way of showing thankfulness to God.
