Blessings of Transformation - Thanksgiving Countdown

Tomorrow is the big day that we have spent a lot of times preparing for. Some of us have travelled across country to make sure we spend this special day with family. It is very impressive to see so many people listing their blessings daily, on the social networking sites. This is an indication that people are moving away from the commercialism of the Thanksgiving Holiday.

The emphasis is being placed on love, thankfulness and gratitude. This is awesome! This is what God wants for us. He does not want a bunch of complaining, sick people who are stressing themselves out unnecessarily.

Spending time connecting with friends and sharing our blessings help to relieve some of the stress that many people take on during the holiday seasons. Stress causes physiological problems. In other words-it makes us sick. If we are sick and stressed out, we can hardly enjoy ourselves and our time with our families on days which are supposed to be Holydays.

My prayer is that thanks giving transformations continue to take place, not only during the days that are highlighted and celebrated, but on every day of the year.

In 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18, we are encouraged by Paul to: Be joyful always; pray continually; give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus.

Until next time
Love & Blessings
