Oh happy days, I'm grateful that my Lord and Savior has allowed me to rise to see another day. To work for him another day as it's harvest time and I believe it's time for us to put our best foot forward.
Whens the last time that you were involved in a selfish act, when did you do something for someone other than your family or yourself ? Friends all we have to do is ask the Father for our marching orders, He will point to the person, family or even Non-Profit Organization for you to bless.
How often do you forget to give thanks?
Praise and thanksgiving should be a regular part of our customary behavior, and not just reserved for Thanksgiving day. Giving thanks should be heartfelt and well thought out. Most of us just say words as we believe that it is appropriate in any given situation. If we continuously praise God I believe that we won't take his blessings for granted.
There are four elements related to giving thanks: (1) by remembering what God has done, (2) telling others about it, (3) showing God's glory to others, and (4) offering gifts of self, time, and resources. By allowing God to rule our lives, others will see our thankfulness.
Have a great day in the Lord, and "Happy Thanksgiving"
Until next time.

Jim,
I tell ya, it is an everyday experience to give thanks unto God. I have never had to get past the opening of my eyes in the morning to give thanks. He has and will always provide us with all we need and the opportunity to bless others. Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family.
Good morning Mr. Harrison!
Giving thanks to our Havenly Father is a must! I never eat without giving God the glory he so richly deserves, but always for my job, children, the special Lady in my life and you keeping me in faith! However,I am guilty for not asking God to point me in the direction of those who would require my assistance in whatever way. On occaision, I do talk with some drivers while out on the road about our Lord. It brightens my day and so does your Insights into God's Word:)I pray you and Mrs. Harrison remain in great faith and health. As always, I thank you so dearly for your words of wisdom and blesseth are those who keep us in faith:) Until next time
