Living a Life of Thanksgiving
"Let the Word of Christ—the Message—have the run of the house. Give it plenty of room in your lives. Instruct and direct one another using good common sense. And sing, sing your hearts out to God! Let every detail in your lives—words, actions, whatever—be done in the name of the Master, Jesus, thanking God the Father every step of the way." Colossians 3:16-17
Jesus didn't suffer and die in our place for us to live a life of stress, worry, isolation, indecision, or desperation. When He saved us we got a brand new start in life, His Word, plus an advocate by our side.
We shouldn't have to go through life living without a purpose. We have one -- simply to live a life of thanksgiving and to give thanks to God with a grateful heart every single moment.
We do not need to spend our time worrying about tomorrow or judging people, figuring out where they are in life, how they got there or why. Jesus cleaned up our own mess, with no questions asked. Our response to that is simply to give Him thanks in all we do and in doing so help lift up the fallen to their feet, help mend and restore the broken and to help soothe and heal the wounds of the hurting, just like Jesus did to us.
Happy Thanksgiving Day, make it thanksgiving day everyday.
