Thank you is such an amazing word! Saying thanks is an amazing exercise, of looking towards something nice that someone else has done and acknowledging it in some way... Someone left a note for me recently, with a big THANK YOU written on it. Every time I look at it, I get a small shock, that someone took the time to say thank you.
Today is thanksgiving, an American celebration, but one we should all really take part in. Something special happens when people stop, take the time and say thank you, not in passing, but with purpose, direction, and specifically. We took some time to say thanks to God for all he had done for each of us over the last year last night. It was amazing! It seems that once you start, it just multiplies. Once you think of a few, you think of more, and more and more, and one thing generates many more things to give thanks for. Sometimes it is impossible to start, but even then, once you finally do start to think of things to give thanks for, even do they start to multiply!
What an amazing thing to be a part of a thank filled community, and group of people! And to have a God who asks us to stop and give thanks!
