Celebrating Thanksgiving this year looked different because of the pandemic. We would have loved to celebrate the day with our family! We knew it is best to wait until it is safe to see our family and a vaccine may be coming out soon. During the days leading up to Thanksgiving were much quieter because we did not have to travel. It gave me a chance to slow down and reflect on all the good in my life and the life of my family. A heart of gratitude brings joy and peace in our lives. I am so thankful to the Lord for His constant care and goodness to me. Psalm 150:1-2 says, “Praise the Lord! Praise Him for His mighty deeds; praise Him according to His excellent greatness.” With a vaccine on the horizon, it gives us all hope for the future. A hope for being able to gather again with our families and friends. We can be grateful in every season of our lives because God is with us and sustains us! He is faithful, trustworthy, sovereign and eternal. I am so thankful that we can go to Him with all of our cares in life and He hears us when we call out to Him!
I challenge you as you go through this Christmas season to slow down and reflect on all of the ways the Lord has cared for you during this difficult year. Take time to read the Bible and be in prayer asking the Lord to speak to your heart. He cares for us and wants you to be in relationship with Him bringing all your cares to Him!
