How often do you sit in the seat of thanksgiving throughout the day?  I am trying to do a better job of this on a consistent basis.  As we prepare to celebrate Thanksgiving this week, realize, amidst the chaos, the dysfunction, the laughter or the tears, there is always a reason to be thankful.

 Always be joyful. Never stop praying.   Be thankful in all circumstances, for this is God’s will for you who belong to Christ Jesus. (1 Thessalonians 5:16-18)
