A THANKFUL HEART
What does it mean to have a Thankful Heart? Why not a Thankful Mouth? Or a Thankful Face?
As in water, face reflects face, so a man’s heart reveals the man. Proverbs 27:19 (NKJV)
Man looks on the outside, while God focuses on the inside. Our character is created within the heart of man. The more we love Jesus, the more we reflect Him in our conversations and our actions. As we seek His face, we become His reflection. It all begins in the heart…
A Thankful Heart produces…
A Thankful Attitude that creates…
Thankful Expressions and Pleasant Words.
The best way to teach our children and grandchildren this concept is by example. They watch us like hawks and listen to every word we say. What flows from our hearts through our actions, attitudes, and words pours into them like empty vessels waiting to be filled.
This Thanksgiving, we have a wonderful opportunity to be an example of a Thankful Heart. For example, look beyond the delicious food to the love poured into preparing the feast. Appreciate those who spent hours shopping, creating the family meal, and who provided the food. A Thankful Heart… loves, speaks words of encouragement, serves others, lends a hand at the cleanup, and is grateful in all circumstances.
Enter into His gates with thanksgiving, And into His courts with praise. Be thankful to Him, and bless His name. For the Lord is good; His mercy is everlasting, and His Truth endures to all generations. Psalm 100:5
Blessings for a wonderful Thanksgiving... From My Heart to Yours!
