Let's play a game. It's called An Invisible Thanksgiving: When you say what you are thankful for this year, mention something that is unseen. Try it now: Turn to the person closest to you and give thanks for an unseen trait. Why? Well, God is more concerned with who we are, than what we accomplish, accumulate, or achieve, so we should be, too! :)
So, instead of saying you are thankful for the way your child gets good grades, maybe you could say you are thankful for your child's diligence in studying! :)
Not thankful for your clean kitchen, but thankful for your family's selfless team spirit in pitching in with chores! :)
Not just, "Thanks!" for your coffee refilled at the diner, but offer thanks for your server being efficient and pleasant.
Yes, Trey was a cute little boy, with beautiful blue eyes, and a contagious smile....but Trey's invisible qualities are all we have left: the memories of the way he made us laugh, his zeal, his joy, the faith of Team Mitlo One, and the way Trey lived his little life so large! :)
Take some time this week and plan ahead. Bless your family with An Invisible Thanksgiving! :)
"So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal." 2 Corinthians 4:18
