Thankful Heart

Last night our Tennessee friends came over to the cabin, and yes, Donald in his grand fashion, grilled up crab legs for us all to enjoy.  It was a fun night spent with good people, who yes, we’re grateful to be with during this Thanksgiving holiday.

The truth is, holidays in themselves can be a mixed bag of feelings for us.  Many will feel joyful and excited, while many will feel anxious and sad, for yes, this time of year can be rough. The memories of the past, the times spent with family members who are now gone, the loneliness we feel, or yes, even the painful memories of what we thought holidays were suppose to be, but they weren’t.. A mixed bag of emotions we are, they come and they go as we get older, and yes, year after year, while most of us learn to deal with them a little better, I know, and totally understand, it’s not always easy to give thanks.

However, giving thanks is the very thing we need to do in order to see God’s will accomplished in our lives, for yes, this is how we move into that stomping ground of faith that serves us so well, for yes, Thanksgiving has great power to bring joy while breaking the power the enemy has had over us for years. For yes, it’s when we give thanks to Him, who we love and trust, in spite of the most difficult circumstances, that we’ll find, that old enemy, he loses a big battle in our life.

For you see, it’s when we give thanks in the middle of our difficulties that we bring joy and pleasure to His heart, simply because, we’ve learned to live in that dimension of praise and thanksgiving, where the enemy, no longer has the ability to hold or manipulate us.

Bottom line, the enemy is defeated when we have a thankful heart, simply because, thankfulness during difficulty is a sacrifice that is pleasing to God . So yes sweet friends, thankfulness is our key to life, the key that can turn any situation around, all because, it changes us, it changes our outlook, and yes, it changes our attitude, for yes,  there’s power in our thankful hearts, and yes, again and again and again,  with grateful hearts we can shout, that yes .. haha .. oh yeah .. love wins period

Godspeed Sweet Friends
