"And by His good grace I will praise Him still"

Here it is a scant several days before Thanksgiving, the mere twenty-four hours which so many of us fill with food and family, forgetful of the Giver in our busyness, and I am grateful. Can I ever analyze all that God has done for me and rationalize that I have deserved it? Can I do Him the dishonor of attempting to number His extravagance into a list of tangible blessings? That is what eternity is for. But in the meantime, why wait for Thursday? Who woke me up this morning, right on time? Who has sustained me since birth? Who has brought about all my trials in order to polish me as a gem? With each word and action a carefully crafted prayer of Thanksgiving let me begin now... and continue, ever filled with gratitude.
