Thankfulness Has a Companion



Thankfulness Has a Companion

Thanksgiving Day is a time of traditions, transitions and a time to be thankful for all God has provided. But it’s also remarkable to realize a thankful of heart comes with a companion– hope.  

“Let us hold tightly without wavering to the hope we affirm,

 for God can be trusted to keep his promise.

 Let us think of ways to motivate one another to acts of love and good works.”

Hebrews 10:23-24 NIV

Hope is sitting right beside a big platter full of thankfulness and close at hand is a cup overflowing with God’s love and mercy.

Hope lifts us up like a play yard swing setting us in motion to spread more hope to others.

Hope is the chauffer who drives us through the day and the blanket covering us in peace when we go to sleep at night.

 Hope comes with an automatic gear which shifts us into thankfulness, even when— there are bumps in the road, wrong turns and disappointments.  

Hope is fixated with a sure destination leading us directly to the heart of God.

Hope is God’s gift, His Son Jesus, wrapped in love and tied with ribbons of thankfulness.  

“Our hope is not mere speculation in what God might do. God has given His word on many areas of life regarding things He will do. We can have confident hope in everything that He has promised.” Henry T. Blackaby, Experiencing God Day by Day

 

Happy and blessed Thanksgiving everyone! May our God of all hope fill your heart overflowing with His love, joy and peace always.
