Romans 12:1-2

I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service. And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God. Romans 12:1-2

Happy Thanksgiving (a few days late). This is the time of year we give thanks. Let us always give glory to the One who blesses us. Psalm 75:1 We give thanks to You, O God, we give thanks! For Your wondrous works declare that Your name is near. The most wondrous gift of all for which we should be thankful is our salvation through Christ. 1 John 5:11 And this is the testimony: that God has given us eternal life, and this life is in His Son. As we step into the Christmas season, and celebrate the birth of Christ, I need to show my thankfulness by my actions, living my life for God out of thankfulness for the redemption of Christ. My focus should be on giving and showing my children through my example. When I keep this in the forefront of my mind and heart, the holiday season isn’t daunting at all.
