Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you. -1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 (ESV)

I want to write a brief post to wish everyone a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday. The Bible teaches us to be thankful in all things. The older I get in my walk with the LORD, the more I see the value in such a practice. It’s easy to be thankful when things are going one’s way, but not so much when it seems like life is being unfair and the chips are really down. But that’s the time when it matters most. With the right attitude we can more easily approach the LORD and seek His help, which he is always ready to give.

May God richly bless you this Thanksgiving and throughout the holiday season.
