I just returned from spending several days at a friend's lake house in east Texas. It is much easier to let "thankfulness rule" when I'm away from many of the worries of daily life. As I watched thousands of gold and red and yellow leaves being blown from the trees, it felt as if God's Presence and love were touching the earth. What a glorious place for thankfulness to flourish!
Now I'm home again and daily worries and stresses quickly return! What a blessing to be reminded that even in these events, I need to be thankful. It is only through doing so that I will be able to "see more and more of God's riches!"
As I sit quietly before my Lord, I am repeating today's scripture from Colossians 3:15: "Let the peace of Christ rule in my heart ...and be thankful." I pray that through God's most amazing grace that you and I will let thankfulness rule in our lives.
