You know why so many people feel so good on Thanksgiving? I think the answer is obvious: because we've stopped looking at how bad things are for just a moment, and realized how GOOD they truly are. No matter where a person is at in life, he or she usually has something to be thankful for. During the rest of the year, many other things overshadow that. At Thanksgiving, we realize all over again how good God has been.
At Thanksgiving in the Snodgrass family, we have a time where we sing hymns and then everyone has a chance to say what he or she has been thankful for this year. I had a hard time saying mine because everything involving babies has been so emotional. but I'll say it here. I'm thankful for God's goodness, and that we can trust in Him to be good, even in bad things. I shared that I'm thankful for Jayna Joy--"Bringer of Victory" "God has been Gracious" and the middle name having the significance from Psal 30:5 "Weeping may remain for a night, but joy cometh in the morning."
I also shared that I am thankful for the promise in 2 Peter 1:3 "His divine power has given us everything we need for life and godliness through our knowledge of Him." How blessed we are. So very very blessed.
