Giving....

Not just thanksgiving...but the rest of the year.
All year long, planting seeds. Karma comes to mind here. I think of what we do or maybe don't do.
I think of "our" part, are you doing your part? Do you give, does your heart go out to those in need, in pain?
What exactly are you giving back? Or are you just taking? The most blessed people I've ever met in my life were not those that seeked for only their gain, but those that put other's needs in front of theirs and at the very least gave back to some favor that was bestowed upon them.
I do try to do my best to acknowledge God's blessing on my life and give him credit for the position I'm in.
I know that little ole me, in all my sins and imperfections couldn't possibly bring all the glory my life has. I pray that I'm giving back as he would expect.
I also pray that those of you living well and in good health also know that you need to be thankful and acknowledge who has brought you to....employment, happy relationships and some kind of security.
Those of you that can't remember or acknowledge why your life is so good shouldn't be surprised when your ticket ends...When the job stops, when the love is gone, when the health fails. If you continously put yourself in front of others, then God will put you behind them.
If the person you love persistently cares for your every need or want and that person is put behind your every need or want, that person will stop being a productive part of your life. If your wants is all that matters to you and you can't seem to take a few minutes to think of them or do something nice for them, they may not be there for you when you really need them.
We absolutely must not think of ourselves first....God meant for us to be blessed, that was HIS plan, but he expects that in turn you will give back.
If you can't or you don't, you are most certainly NOT in HIS will.
I hope you all remember this especially during this season but more importantly all year long.
