Be Full

“Be mindful, to be thankful for God is faithful”

Loren Thornburg

In the definition of thanksgiving no where does it say to eat or drink.  It mentions not being full of food, but rather of thanks.  It is a prayer, act, acknowledgement, celebration, and expression of thanks and goodness.  Yet so often in the busyness and the preparation we miss the holiday.  We become consumed with the filling that we miss the giving.  So eat, gather, enjoy the day, but don’t miss the holiday.  Remember to be thankful…pray it, express it, acknowledge it, celebrate it.  Let’s be full…of thanks!  What are you full of thanks for?

“Therefore, since we are receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, let us be thankful and so worship God acceptably with reverence and awe.”

Hebrews 12:28

Let us be thankful!  Thanks that lives from the inside out, that causes us to live lives of thanksgiving that worship God.  Let us not stop at simply being thankful but living thankful.  We have so much to be thankful for if we are only mindful to remember all that we have to be thankful for.  And let us begin with the truth that “we are receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken!”  That is reason enough to be thankful, for that remains when all of our world shakes us away from seeing reason for earthly thanks.  We have a reason, now let us respond, in our hearts and in our lives!  Live Full…Mindful to be Thankful for He IS FAITHFUL!
