I am diggin' the season. I like all the lights, decorations and songs. It seems to me that most folks are just a little kinder this time of year. I like kind.

I have heard many say these are "uncertain times". I would disagree. I understand the logic, especially when we focus on the ushering in of a new leader for our nation, how to deal with war, and the economic concerns that bombard us each day. But these times are NOT uncertain. They are untraveled by us. But they are understood for certain by the Maker of days. God is at work in our world, even in the middle of our uncertainty. If we take the time to "be still" and look for Him, we can see His handiwork, and when we do, we can't help but be thankful... truly thankful.

Of what are you certain? For what are you thankful? A mind and heart filled with those things will lead to a life at peace.

My prayer this Thanksgiving is that each of us might know the reality of a living Savior, that we might have the eyes to see where He is at work in our world, and that we might have the courage to get involved where we see Him working.

I Thessalonians 5:16-18
"Be joyful always; pray continually; give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus."

Take time this week, and especially tomorrow, to reflect on the things for which you are truly thankful.

Wishing you all a happy and blessed Thanksgiving.

I love the part about these times being untraveled by us but not uncertain.
