What if

What if Thanksgiving became a lifestyle?
People would post every day the things and people they are thankful for.  They would allow people in front of them in line at the grocery store....I actually saw this happen TWICE the afternoon before Thanksgiving....I have NOT seen it during the Christmas season.
What if?
Family and friends would gather regularly, sharing food, laughter, hopes, silliness, stresses....just being together....being family...working together to create a meal just because they love being together.
What if Thanksgiving became a lifestyle?
Singles would feel less lonely as they would be absorbed into the family....the TRUE family.....God's family.  Widows.  Orphans.  Divorced. Abandoned.  Apart.  But not alone.
What if?
Social media would be such a nicer place to be.  No cutting, snide remarks about people's religious nor political beliefs.....rather, giving thanks for the freedom to differ, to have our own thoughts and beliefs.
What if Thanksgiving became a lifestyle?
We'd probably eat too much.  Worry less.  Laugh more.  Play more.
What if?
What if I let Thanksgiving become my lifestyle?
It will change me from the inside out.
In all things give thanks.  For this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus.
Not FOR all things.  But IN all things.  ALL.  Period.  HIS will.  For me.  Not too much to ask....considering He gave JESUS....redemption, hope, peace, a way up.
What if?
Really, what if?
Isn't it a marvelous dream?
blessings.
