Total Involvement!

Some people view this time of year as the beginning of the "giving season." When someone has given us something very special, we may immediately jump up and hug them tightly. In our thanks we may give them a long squeeze as we say, "Thank you, thank you, thank you." Such is thanks in which our WHOLE BEING is involved as our HEART is deeply touched and our arms embrace. Should this not be the picture of our thanks to God?

From the HEART of David we read. . .
"(1) I WILL GIVE THANKS TO THE LORD WITH MY WHOLE HEART; I will recount all of your wonderful deeds. (2) I will be glad and exult in you; I will sing praise to your name, O Most High." ( Psalm 9:1-2 ESV)

Our God is the Great Giver through all the seasons of the year and life! Every day He is worthy of our WHOLE HEARTED praise and thanks! As we continue to stop to "recount all of [His] wonderful deeds", our life should be marked by a spirit of everlasting thanksgiving as we remember God is not only the Giver of good things for this life ( James 1:17), but for eternity as well. May today be the beginning of a season of thanksgiving that stretches on into our eternity with Him.

Have a great day MARKED BY WHOLEHEARTED GRATITUDE TO GOD!
