Giving Thanks
Seems to be the thing to do today, so…
Happy Thanksgiving to everyone.
Eat some turkey. Watch some football. Take a nap.
Thank God for all He has done, does, and will continue to do for us all.
Read Eric Zorn’s 11/25 column (registration/login required) over at the Chicago Tribune. Some good quotes:
We live better than kings.
For one day, at least, we banish regret over what we don’t have and we reflect on the ways in which life is good, particularly, in material terms, compared to life at other times and in other places.
Grab a crown. Most of us are far healthier, far more comfortable and have far more opportunities and diversions available to us than 99 percent of all the monarchs, emperors, maharajas and other potentates who’ve ever lived. We live longer, eat better and travel farther than the richest and most blessed people in virtually every other generation in every land in history.
We tend to forget this, just as we forget to savor the blessings of family, friendship, freedom and faith.
We live better than earthly kings. We are sons of the King of the Universe — heirs to the Eternal Kingdom.
Give thanks for that.
Realize that it’s far more likely that your unmet wants far outweigh your unmet needs.
Give thanks for that.
Thank you for reading this blog.
I’ve been blessed, far beyond what I deserve.
I give thanks for that.
Oh yeah — eat some pie after you wake up from that nap! ;^)
