      That time of the year is here, a time for celebrating, giving thanks to God for how good He has been to us. Thanksgiving is just around the corner, and Christmas soon will follow. I know many of us are ready to celebrate, with our Christmas trees already up, and the lights hanging from the ceilings (or perhaps they were left there from last year!). Lisa and myself already have begun our holiday season by watching the classic Christmas carol with old Ebenezer himself. I’m already looking forward to the many awesome songs that we for some reason only sing once a year. This year, as we celebrate, let’s remember to give thanks to God for all that He has done. It is never too late to prepare your hearts to celebrate and give thanks to God. Let Thanksgiving be about God and His mercies. Allow Christmas to be about Jesus and the gift to the world He is. Prepare your hearts already for this special time of the year. Perhaps David put it best when He wrote in Psalm 118, “Give thanks to the Lord, for He is good; His love endures forever.” Be blessed this year as we celebrate all that God has done for us!
