Overflowing Abundance

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

Last night our churched gathered together for our annual Harvest Celebration. The main portion of the celebration included the bringing of our abundance offerings.  This offering represents the abundant blessings that God has given to us throughout the year.  I am not one who sheds tears easily, but as young and old alike walked to the cross to give of their offerings it almost brought tears to my eyes.  What a beautiful sight!  God is so good and certainly blesses us abundantly!

As we celebrate Thanksgiving this week 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.  In this country we 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.  This Thanksgiving give thanks for the abundant blessings that the 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.
