An Abundant Thanksgiving

You crown the year with your bounty, and your carts overflow with abundance. – Psalm 65:11

Last night I went to the grocery store to pick up a few items. I discovered it is not a good idea to go to the grocery store the night before Thanksgiving. The store was packed with shoppers stocking up for the Thanksgiving Holiday. It put a new meaning to “your carts overflow with abundance.”

As we celebrate Thanksgiving today we will definitely celebrate with abundance. Many will enjoy an abundance of turkey, stuffing and pumpkin pie. Houses will be filled with an abundance of family. Football fans will watch an abundance of football. Airports will be overflowing with an abundance of travelers. Despite a down economy in the Untied States we still live in abundance compared to many others around the world.

As Americans we certainly have a lot to be thankful for. As we look back over the year we can certainly see how the Lord has crowned the year with his bounty and how his carts overflow with abundance. Today give thanks for the abundant blessings that Lord has given!

Prayer: I give you thanks, O Lord, for your abundant blessings. Let me never forget what you have done for me. I will give thanks to you and praise your name forever. Amen.

Faith Tip: As you celebrate Thanksgiving, be aware of the abundant blessings the Lord has given you and thank God for his abundant love, grace and mercy.
