November of Thanksgiving 2010

I'm sad to see the November of Thanksgiving come to a close for another year.  As always, I am grateful for this past month; for the awareness of God's greatness and His mercies, His loving-kindness and His provision.

I'm thankful, too, for Rebecca who gives so  much of her time each year to organize and round up all the thankful posts.

As I reflect on the past month, I realize that there were many, many things for which I was thankful that never made it to the blog; some things are just personal.  The daily practice of giving thanks certainly made me so much more aware of God's presence in my life and helped me to give thanks in some difficult situations.  How much better it is to give thanks instead of expressing worry or discontented feelings!

Thank you, Lord, for teaching me to accept some things I cannot change and to be thankful, not 'in spite of' but 'because of!'
