How often in a given day you say Thank you, God. Mostly, it is when we are distressed and in need that we remember God. What about when you wake up in the morning when there’s no inspiration for you? Throughout the year, we see God’s greatness, love, and blessings in such incredible ways, but we are not as grateful as we ought to be, and we don’t express it as often as we ought to do.
There is one such day, however, in the United States and Canada which celebrates the past year’s harvest and other blessings. This day is called Thanksgiving Day. An essential Thanksgiving tradition is a big meal with family or friends. Thanksgiving is an opportunity to express our gratitude for the abundance in our lives, whether that’s the good relationships we have with our friends and families, our prospects, and our health.
Expressing gratitude towards God is very important. Every day we wake up, we can still see, hear, walk, and eat. In other words, all the functions we enjoy every day. So, why not wake up every morning and say thank you, God. Do the same during the day also. Something good comes our way, we should thank him. We should live the lives of Thanksgiving all the time. Thanksgiving is offering thanks to God for his forever endurance, love, and blessings under all circumstances.
Thanksgiving Reminds Us to Be More Than Grateful
Let’s help those who need it. Let’s not be mad that the world isn’t helping the needy. Let’s see what we can do as an individual. Compassion is the key, and empathy is essential, and that’s one reason that we should focus on trying to help those in need. It may mean that we are in a space in our lives where we feel we can’t currently help anyone, but certainly, there’s just one person out on the street we can impact. We could change their experience, maybe just for a moment. Thanking God keeps us consciously aware that God is always there in our life and helps us trust him more and more. Thanksgiving is essential to our rejoicing amid suffering.
For many people, Thanksgiving is a time to be grateful. Gratitude is an attitude, and giving thanks is an action. It appreciates the blessings in one’s life. Gratitude can take us from feeling sorry for ourselves to feeling joy. Doing a daily gratitude exercise will make us happier, more self-disciplined, accomplish our goals, even healthier physically. Perhaps best of all, gratitude frees us from emotional pain. If we want to let go of emotional distress, choose gratitude, or simply if we’re going to feel more happiness, choose gratitude. When we experience more joy, we make the world more joyful.
We should teach our children gratitude and Thanksgiving very early in life. It should be a part of our thinking, our experience, and how we operate. This thanksgiving festival, give yourself and others good health and joy, download the JoyScore.
