"Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good; his love endures forever." -- Psalm 107:1

In the US, as we approach the Thanksgiving holiday, we are reminded to count our blessings.  I know some who are keeping gratitude journals, marking daily something for which they are thankful.  When we do this, perspective is found and our appreciation for life itself is enhanced.  The psalmist knew this long ago.  When we give thanks, who are we thanking?  It's more than just a nod of appreciation that we offer.  It's a deep and heartfelt expression of gratitude.  Identify 5 things today that you are thankful for and thank God for them, for he is good and his love endures forever.  That right there is something we should all be thankful for.

Readings:  Ezekiel 20:1-49; Hebrews 9:11-28; Psalm 107:1-43; Proverbs 27:11
