Well, Its that wonderful time of year again! The colorful leaves are falling from the trees. The temperatures are dipping. The daylight hours are fewer. And Christmas decorations are popping up everywhere. Oh! And don’t forget the 24 hour Christmas music radio stations. Yup! Looks like its just a few more days til… Thanksgiving!

And speaking of Thanksgiving, someone said that the epitome of an optimist is a person who goes on a diet just before Thanksgiving. I’d say that’s more like the perfect definition of denial. But Hey! Who’s counting calories, right?

This week, we will talk about PORTION CONTROL. But don’t worry your holiday-heads! Its not what you think. Go ahead and fully enjoy your Turkey with all the trimmings, as well as all of the deliciously comforting foods! It’s a celebration of thanks to the true and living God!

Instead of letting life’s circumstances control your gratitude and steal your joy, realize that if you are in Christ, then you can boldly declare today that, The Lord is My Portion! So let’s get our hearts ready to show Him all of our gratitude!
