This quote is perfect for the last week in November. December approaches quickly. We are soon to be completely wrapped up in the holiday hustle and bustle. I is easy to lose the focus on Christ in Christmas as schedules get full and demands are great.
This is where I need to stop and remember that gratitude can pour sanity back into December. I want to remember to slow down and take nothing for granted. Every moment spent with family and friends is precious.
A dear friend of mine died last Tuesday, before Thanksgiving. It reminded me that we have to take advantage of every opportunity to gather together. Life can change in a heartbeat. I will always be grateful for every shared meal and the conversations that followed. Moments matter.
Today was full of baby dedications, a bridal shower and Christmas program preparations. There are so many reasons to give thanks to God for his abundant blessings.It was a good day.I am reminded of this scripture passage:
Be thankful in all circumstances, for this is God’s will for you who belong to Christ Jesus. -1 Thessalonians 5:18
Give thanks. Take nothing for granted.
Today, I am grateful for the "give and take".
