How many of you have seen posts on facebook every day about different things that people are grateful of? Most, if not all, have probably seen those posts. They are a great opportunity for reflecting on the blessings and gifts that God has given them. But there is one problem that I see... So what?
What does giving thanks thanks really do? Does it give us a time to realize how blessed we are, does it give us a reason to realize how stinking rich we are (living in the United States that is), or does it give us a reason to act happy for what we have when really we are not happy?
I think there is one thing that we are missing...
Being thankful for something should change us.
Because I am thankful for my family, I act with love towards them, and truly I would sacrifice so much for them. Because I am thankful for my friends, I love them and treat them with respect. Because I am thankful for God, I live my life in debt and gratitude for Him (although I am far from perfect).
So next time you think about saying grace on Thanksgiving, or maybe looking back at what you have been blessed with... think about this one thing
What are you so thankful for that it has changed your life?
