Have you had your Joy Juice today? This is the day before Thanksgiving. Time to take care of all those last minute
details to make sure you’re ready for the big day! Make sure your pantry is
filled with JOY JUICE!
Many of us
are looking forward to family coming in for the holidays. We’ll be busy, busy, busy with grocery
shopping, cooking, cleaning, getting ready for our guests. But let’s not let our busyness overshadow the
reason for the holiday. Why not slow
down a little just a bit and take time to count our blessings? There is an old hymn that I can remember
singing countless times that tells us to “Count your many blessings, name them
one by one…and it will surprise you what the Lord has done.”
When we
stay too busy to recognize all that God has done and is doing in our lives,
then we are TOO BUSY! May I suggest that
as we go about our day today, that we take a few minutes to meditate on the
goodness of God? Let’s go to the book of Psalms and read some of the beautiful
verses that were penned by men who loved God.
They will remind us to be thankful.
Psalm 28:7 says “My heart leaps for joy and I will give
thanks to him in song.”
Take time to
thank God for your blessings…and ask Him for an extra serving of energy and
stamina as you face the busyness of the next few days. Let’s not get so busy
that we forget to GIVE THANKS and allow our hearts to leap to for joy in
gratitude and praise to God.
Get ready for a joyfully blessed Thanksgiving Day by making the
right kind of preparations today!
