If we can celebrate Christmas in July why can't we celebrate Thanksgiving in June?
We don't have to wait until November to be thankful. Count your blessings today!
But wait! Be careful when you give thanks. No, "Thanks, except for...." or "Thanks, but..." or "I'll be thankful when..." Keep your excepts and buts out of this one.
For example: Have you been genuinely thankful for this week's weather? Not in light of the rain we've had, or before the heat that's coming, but thankful for this glorious weather....right now.
Or your car. It gets you where you need to go. Safely. Yes, it could be bigger/nicer/shinier/quieter/faster/cooler/etc. But be thankful today.
Or your beachbody. Or your almost beachbody. Not only if you were a size ____(fill in the blank).
Or even your unpleasant situation. Finances. Relationships. Health. Comfort. Peace. Joy. Winning. Sleep. Work. Play. Thank God for all that He is providing for you right now. Right this very moment. He IS providing for you! :)
"I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want. I can do all this through Him who gives me strength." Philippians 4:12,13
