Thankfulness

Happy Thanksgiving to you all.  As I sit in my brother's living room at his house in Colorado Springs, CO listening to my sister-in-law make stuffing and watching my three adorable nieces all play together, I think about how blessed I am.  When I feel blessed, I feel thankful.

Usually there are times that I don't feel blessed or thankful, but discouraged and depressed, and it is in those times that I know, God doesn't leave me or forsake me, but walks with me through the trial that He has presented before me.  It is in those times that I dig down really deep and find the inner strength to be thankful.  Last night at a Thanksgiving Eve service at my brother's church it was worship and testimonies on how we are thankful for all that God has done for us.  One of the gentlemen and his story really spoke to me.  He ended with hearing the Lord asking him if you take away all your circumstances, is Christ enough?  I have keep thinking about that since last night, is Christ enough?  I will be the first to say there are times I will say yes and times I will say no.  As a Christian who asks all the time, to get increased faith, then more times I will say Christ is enough?  Just remember that as non-perfect people, we will have lack of faith and it is in those times, God gives of strength. 

So today I am thankful for my family, friends, food, fun, fellowship, and all the blessings that have been bestowed upon me, but no matter what I am most thankful that Christ is enough.

Happy Thanksgiving!!!
