Full of Thanks

Every year my church puts on a fun Thanksgiving service to celebrate what God has done over the course of the year. It focuses on {surprise!} being thankful for all He has accomplished through each individual. Some people give testimonies of His goodness. Members from a local Hispanic church and African church present worship songs in their native tongues.

One of the best parts about this Thanksgiving tradition is that every year, each small group or family dress up as something different. Last year a group of people dressed up as fruit. The year before some dressed up as royalty. This year there were injured 80's people, crayons, 50's housewives, and my small group, which was super heroes. I was Captain Homemaker, aka Super Mom!

I've been reminded this year of God's continued goodness. There is never a point in our lives where He isn't a faithful Father. I've been reminded of this quote by A.W. Tozer:

“The reason why many are still troubled, still seeking, still making little forward progress is because they haven't yet come to the end of themselves. We're still trying to give orders, and interfering with God's work within us. ”

What are YOU thankful for this year??
