Though we are still a few weeks from Thanksgiving, it is good to spend time reflecting on gratitude. Rather than dedicate one day to giving thanks, let us spend time in a season of gratitude. Let us train our eyes see the goodness of God where we once saw nothing. Let us train our hands to give back because of the gifts that have been given to us. And let us train our hearts to praise God with joy for ways small and large that we have been blessed. If we can do this, we might just find a bounce in our step, a smile on our face, and a nearness to the heart of God.
