Today is day 5 in my week long project on being thankful. As I think about these ideas it becomes clear that a week might not be enough to do this theme justice. Giving thanks for a long list of things isn't the solution to this discussion either. To thank someone for a gift or for doing something for you is a simple expression of appreciation for a gift given. It might be a service, a gesture or an actual gift of some kind that generates a "Thank you!" from another person. God is so gracious to us that a daily diet of appreciation is probably the only way to correctly deal with this theme. God daily loads us with blessings we simply must say thank you for. He daily gives us all things to enjoy. He faithfully meets our needs, loves us, forgives us, gives us provisions we take for granted. All we have and all we are is because of the kind and gracious hand of God, so today may I invite you to begin the daily habit of thanking God for his work in your life and all that he provides? If you intentionally think about it all you might be surprised by how much we have to thank God for.
