I have to laugh at myself sometimes. i can be so ugh…what’s the word I am looking for…PIG-HEADED!!
I rebel about this attitude of thankful for the twenty some odd days leading up to Thanksgiving. So much of it is hype. I am a firm believer in being thankful everyday. This is something I strive for and this year it has been more difficult though I am not really sure why!!
The next two months are truly my most favorite time of year (Though i Am NOT a huge fan of snow ; or cold for that matter)
Over this last week and I have been more aware of the little lessons my parents strove to teach me and my two younger brothers. Some of them are CLICHE but if you take the time to listen to them life is SOOOOOO much easier!
So the major one is “if you don’t have anything nice to say don’t say anything at all”.
Now sometimes we need to hold each other accountable BUT we need to be careful. We can hurt others and keep them from furthering their walk with God or halt them from getting to know Christ at all. As i study our Sunday school lessons I am discovering that encouragement is the key to helping anyone grow IN EVERY way!!!
So in light of what i just said….i shouldn’t be rebellious about the twenty some odd days before Thanksgiving! Because they are part of the 365 days in a year and i should be thankful during them as well! So my moment of slight rebellion is over. And i am a better person for it!! AND IN CASE YOU DIDN’T CATCH IT Today i am thankful for my parents who taught me how to function in life and care for people!
