Thanksgiving Providence

Happy Thanksgiving! One lesson I always enjoyed about turkey day is God's providence. Below is a passage from Matthew 6 (from the Message Bible) and a few things I (with a little help from Noah) am grateful for.

 - Honorable parents.
 - A roof over our heads.
 - Food on the table.
 - Friends (to eat it with).
 - A church family that cares.
 - Loving wife.
 - Siblings that yell (because they care for us?).
 - Grace to use our gifts.
 - Forgiveness.
 - Leisure.

If you decide for God, living a life of God-worship, it follows that you don't fuss about what's on the table at mealtimes or whether the clothes in your closet are in fashion. There is far more to your life than the food you put in your stomach, more to your outer appearance than the clothes you hang on your body. Look at the birds, free and unfettered, not tied down to a job description, careless in the care of God. And you count far more to him than birds.... Give your entire attention to what God is doing right now, and don't get worked up about what may or may not happen tomorrow. God will help you deal with whatever hard things come up when the time comes.
