A State of Thankfulness


Did you wake up this morning and discover that Thanksgiving is only a few days off and Christmas is closing in fast? Are you finding it hard to get in the Thanksgiving spirit? 

Consider this thought:

A state of thankfulness occurs when a person sees themselves in the light of his or her true position in the universe.

Perhaps the following verses will help you get a better perspective.

When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, the moon and the stars, which thou hast ordained; What is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, that thou visitest him? For thou hast made him a little lower than the angels, and hast crowned him with glory and honour.  Thou madest him to have dominion over the works of thy hands; thou hast put all things under his feet:   All sheep and oxen, yea, and the beasts of the field;  The fowl of the air, and the fish of the sea, and whatsoever passeth through the paths of the seas.  O LORD our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth! Psalms 8:3-9
