Colossians 2:7 ” So then, just as you received Christ Jesus as Lord, continue to live in Him, rooted and built up in Him, strengthened in the faith as you were taught, and overflowing with thankfulness.”

A plaque I saw the other day took me back and really had me thinking…it read,  “What if you woke up tomorrow with only the things you had thanked God for the day before?”  Pretty sobering, right?  I know we try to thank the Lord for what we have (especially around the table on Thanksgiving)…but what about thanking Him for things you no longer have.  This could mean thanking God for delivering you from  feelings of helplessness, hopelessness, and depression that had once ruled your life.  Or this could  mean thanking Him for complete recovery from illness, injury, or surgery that had plagued you this year.  As the Scripture says, let’s be overflowing with thankfulness in all things…the things we have, and the things we don’t.
