To think is to thank. My thoughts have caused my soul to rejoice spontaneously in all the goodness of God! I am overflowing with thankfulness arising from a heart of joy and memories throughout this past year. I am so thankful that we can know and rejoice in the Lord our God! At the end of this brief post, I list a few thoughts that have led me to thank. Feel free to skip them, but make a thoughtful list yourself today.

I can’t help myself. The Thanksgiving service at church was so joyful. Becky is in her happy place and I have had fun being her go to guy this morning. Our table is beautifully set for a feast. Everything smells so good. I’m having fun watching the Detroit Lions. We’re waiting on family and friend to gather with us today. I feel so blessed!

I’m thankful for you taking a moment to spend with me. Remember, I love you much!

Here are just a few blessings I’m reflecting on.

• God’s mercy and kindness revealed in Jesus
• The Bible. Reading Psalms 100 every Thanksgiving!
