The meaning of thanksgiving or at least what it used to be was to be thankful for all we have, to my family it mostly means good food the foot ball game and family which is good but I had a different idea of thanksgiving today. Today I was on my walk and I thought of the real meaning of thanksgiving and I realized how ungrateful I am. I should be grateful for the clean water I get to have, I should be grateful even for the frozen burrito's i have in my freezer I should be grateful for the tiniest of things. So I told God that I want him to teach me to be happy and grateful for even the littlest things so that no matter what I have or don't have. Then this scripture came to mind and I had forgotten I even knew it
PHI 4:10-12, Now, I have received much inner happiness by means of the Lord greatly, that now at length you have revived your concern or thinking for me; indeed, you also were thinking about me, but you lacked the opportunity to express it. Not because I am speaking with reference to poverty or lack; for I have learned to be content in whatever circumstances I am. I know how to get along with humble means, and I also know how to live in prosperity; in any and every circumstance I have learned the secret of being filled and going hungry, both of having abundance and suffering need.
