“Martha, Martha,” the Lord answered, “you are worried and upset about many things, but few things are needed—or indeed only one.Mary has chosen what is better, and it will not be taken away from her.” Luke10:41-42
You probably think I mean Christmas but I am referring to Thanksgiving which to me is a much more relaxed pleasant peaceful holiday celebration. Even though Christmas seems to get people worked up into a frenzy is it for the right reasons? Of course the answer is no. Are you one of those people who say each year you are not going to get caught up and stressed out then voila it happens again?
Start thinking just what it is that you are truly thankful for. Maybe instead of gobbling down food until a fork lift needs to remove you from the dining table stop and ponder what this upcoming day really means? What does being thankful mean to you every other day as well.
Stop and take a breath. Ask yourself what is really important. In all this craziness be sure to stop each day and spend time alone with God. You give thanks to him so don’t forget him.
PRAYER: Thank you Lord for each day of life you have given me. Thank you just for the blessing of having a roof over my head as many do not, or food on the table. Help slow me down from expectations and enjoy life. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
