I love fall time in Maine. I love how the leaves change so many pretty colors and pumpkins are everywhere. This past weekend I traveled north to visit my daughter, son-in-law and this year I have a new pumpkin, Emmett. Children are such a blessing from the Lord (Psalm 127:3), they truly are. I chuckle this morning as I look at his picture and thank the Lord for his little life. As I watched him crawl and say mamma and dadda it made this grandmothers heart leap for joy. I couldn’t help myself on the journey home as I looked at all the pumpkins in the yards and thanked the Lord for the picture I have etched in the forefront of my mind that this talented photographer Ashley took of my newest little pumpkin. I pray the Lord continues to bless the work of her hands and may her business prosper. I have so much to be thankful for and so do you. Sometimes the journey doesn’t look quite like what we thought it would be, but the Bible is clear; In everything give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you (1Thessolonians 5:18). I was challenged a few weeks ago for seven days to journal three things each day I was thankful for. I looked forward to it and each day penned what came to mind. I felt a joy that’s hard to put into words. Thankfulness outweighs negative circumstances. Paul knew what he was talking about when he wrote the book of Thessalonians. So this morning I challenge you, what do you have to be thankful for? What harvest of blessings can you pen for the next seven days? Let the thankfulness begin. It will change your perspective, it will change your life.

Let’s pray: Father, I thank you that this is the day the Lord has made and I will rejoice and be glad in it. Lord, I thank you for my salvation (if you haven’t asked him in your heart then today’s your day. He will surely come in and forgive you of everything if you ask and give you a new beginning). Thank you for (journal you’re three). Thank you for health and ordering my footsteps. Thank you for a harvest of souls across this globe for your glory God. Thank you for the beauty of the fall. Thank you for my newest pumpkin, my grandson Emmett. Be blessed today and remember to be thankful.
