A Way of Life

           A Way of Life

Thanksgiving isn’t just a Thursday
with turkey, laughter, and pie
it’s a posture of the heart,
a way of living under God’s sky.

It’s not limited to one moment,
one prayer before we eat;
it’s found in quiet mornings,
and in every heartbeat.

It’s waking with gratitude
for breath we didn’t earn,
for lessons wrapped in hardship,
for the wisdom we discern.

It’s giving thanks for family,
for friends both near and far,
for every simple blessing
that reminds us who we are.

It’s praising God in sunshine,
and trusting Him in rain,
it’s finding joy in laughter
and purpose even in pain.

For Thanksgiving is not a calendar date
not something that appears then disappears;
it’s a daily offering of gratefulness
carried throughout the years.

So may our hearts stay thankful always
in every season, calm or strife—
for Thanksgiving is not one day a year…
it’s a way of life

1Th 5:18  In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you. Here’s a poem for that beautiful thought:

For God’s Honor and Glory
