Be Thankful For The Little Things

It's thanksgiving week! A week filled with fun, family, laughter and of course that amazing turkey! Carissa has posted before on being thankful (Thankfulness on a Cookie Sheet), but I wanted to take a moment during this special week to think about what it means to be thankful. 

When asked what we are thankful for, most of us would say "A warm home, a good family, solid friends, talented teachers," and so forth. Most of us, including myself, miss the little blessings that God sends us daily. Blessings such as a good parking spot, an extra quarter or two found at the bottom of a drawer, or even something as small as some cereal for breakfast in the morning. There are several verses about being thankful throughout the Bible.


Giving thanks always for all things unto God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus
Christ;
Ephesians 5:20 

In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.
1 Thessalonians 5:18

O give thanks unto the LORD, for [he is] good: for his mercy [endureth] for ever.
Psalms 107:1


What are the seemingly minuscule blessings that God sends you daily? For me, the fact that there is warm coffee every morning when I wake up is a blessing. One of the many blessings that I often miss throughout my busy mornings. 

As we sit with family and friends at the dining room table on thanksgiving day, take a moment to be thankful for the little things.
