Being thankful or grateful is not just something that happens to us .  We choose to give thanks....we choose to return to the source of our joy or happiness to express our gratitude.  When I think of being thankful, I think about the story of the ten lepers who were healed.  I am sure they were all overjoyed that they experienced healing and could get back to their friends and families, but only one of them CHOSE to seek Jesus to return THANKS for the miraculous gift he had been given.  

I really, really want to be like that one.

I pray that you will have a wonderful Thanksgiving and that you will intentionally seek Jesus to return your thanks and praise.  All the other good stuff about Thanksgiving, it's all gravy....dive in!
