With the approach of Fall I eagerly anticipate the pending holidays. I love Christmas with the carols and presents... who can resist the excuse to go shopping? Halloween has always been exciting because of all the sweets and fantasy. But my favorite holiday is Thanksgiving. No not just because we gorge ourselves with the best food of the year... but because of its emphasis on gratitude for all things big and little.
Sometimes I wander in and out of each day without even recognizing all the wonderful opportunities I've had to thank God for his goodness and blessings. Sometimes I allow my humanistic negative attitudes to shroud my vision. Unfortunately I find all to often I've neglected to stop and recognize God's presence in my daily walk.
Fortunately for me He is not one to hold grudges. He understands my weakness and forgives me for my failings. Of all things... that has to be what I'm most thankful for. Not only does my Savior continue to protect and nurture me, but he is capable of seeing past my ugly shortcomings.
Now there is something to be thankful for!!
