Thanksgiving Day – Count Your Blessings
Reflection: Count Your Blessings
There’s a well-loved story of a woman who visited an elderly man known in her community for his constant joy. She asked him, “How are you always so grateful? Don’t you ever have bad days?”
He smiled and pointed to a notebook on his table. “In here,” he said, “I write down every blessing from the moment God woke me up. When storms come—and they do—I read through these pages and remind myself that God has been good, God is good, and God will continue to be good.”
David does the same in Psalm 103. He talks to his soul and says, “Forget not all His benefits.”
Why? Because the heart easily forgets, especially when overwhelmed. But gratitude has a way of shifting our focus, lifting our spirit, and reminding us of God’s faithfulness.
Today—Thanksgiving Day—is more than a holiday; it is a spiritual posture. It’s a moment to pause, breathe, and look at the countless ways God has provided, protected, carried, strengthened, forgiven, and restored us.
