Gratitude is a way of life…a shaper of lifestyle. And over the last past few years we seem to be experiencing a shortage of it in the US.
I think the prevailing spirit of man-made cynicism has diminished the very spirit of thankfulness that brings joy to life. But, we can do something about it… we can join forces and show people around us how to be thankful in spite of our circumstances and struggles.
It will require more than saying the words or celebrating a day. It will require a God Event, a “God Thing.” He will have to open our eyes and our ears to a deeper awareness of the world around us. He will give us a new vision of people. We will see the good, the blessing, the strengths, and the promise in people before they see these things in themselves.
In the process we will become Thanksgiving People, who in fact, God has made necessary to the people around us. Tell me what you think about it. Will you join me in transformation?
