Nothing is outside of the reach of thankfulness. And oh, what an incredibly timely message for today’s Weekly encouragement! I hope you are heading into a wonderful and blessed Thanksgiving Day! I’m grateful for the opportunity to join with you for today’s Weekly encouragement! message. It’s so special to have this opportunity with you. Maybe we think a lot more about Thanksgiving this time of year, not just the day, but the giving of thanks. I was just amazed how much wisdom I heard in the message I’m sharing with you today and it’s all about thanksgiving, giving thanks. If you’re like me, giving thanks when things are good and happy is much easier than when things are difficult or I feel like I’m in lack. However, I’m called to be like Jesus, and to me that means in my humanness I will never be perfect as He was yet I try, and I rely on the grace of God to be closer and closer to being like Him. So this is what Jesus said from today’s Weekly encouragement! message. He gave thanks when He had not enough, He gave thanks while He was still holding not enough. This was the miracle Jesus performed when He had a multitude of thousands of people before Him and just a couple of fish and some bread, about five loaves of bread. He intended to feed the entire multitude with this, and knowing what He had in his hands, He gave thanks. How do we do that?! How do we be like Jesus in this? I think we are faced with lack in our lives, maybe frequently. Maybe we feel that way financially, maybe we feel that way socially, maybe we feel that way politically today. But thankfulness and praise is truly like a weapon. It changes the scenario that has tried to defeat us, or maybe it changes us, which is also a miracle. I believe that God has been trying to impress on my heart lately that being thankful and offering praise truly is like a weapon, or maybe I should say like a tool in my hand. If I wield this tool well, I combat against that which tries to defeat me, I come against that which tries to discourage me. When I’m holding not enough in any area of my life, I can find hope in thanksgiving. Life doesn’t make this easy, sometimes, but maybe that’s exactly why this principle is a miracle worker? We have to be honest about where we are and what we have to see the miracle of thanksgiving. Please remember I’m praying for you in this challenge and challenging time because I love you. Fun word to look and listen for in this Thanksgiving Weekly encouragement! See if you find the word, profappy (let me know)! Happy and blessed Thanksgiving to you!
