The holiday season seems like it is the only time family gets together unless there is a sickness or death. I find it strange that it seems to be the time that the homeless an less fortunate are thought about. This is the season that there are more death due to suicide. This is the time of the year were more people suffer from depression.
I am not exactly who made the decision to make a holiday season a time to be thankful. Giving thanks should be a lifestyle. Being grateful should be just as natural as breathing. Helping others is something to do because it is what we were born to do. It shouldn't only happen because it is the holiday.
EVERYDAY is a day of thanksgiving! Every day we should be thankful for the fact that we have opened our eyes and have another chance to do something for someone else. It isn't because we have been so good or wonderful. Every morning we rise we are given new grace and new mercy. Now imagine if God chose to give us everything during the "holiday season"
Giving thanks allows room for more in the natural & supernatural realm. When you say thank you in the natural to other they receive and accept appreciation. You have gotten their attentions and they are more likely to help or do for you again. God moves that same way! When we give thanks He smiles. I imagine He says look at my child, what else can I do. When you make the sacrifice to give thanks when you are going through, you have really gotten His attention!
Give thank in everything, not just for a "holiday season".
Until next time
Be Happy
Be Authentic
Love Life
