See what great love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! And that is what we are!  1John 3:1

Be Thank-FULL you are filled by God's love---give Him praise for loving His kids!

In a season of Thanksgiving, there is much to be thankful for.  What would be on your list?

Most of us would start with the many blessings of our lives.  We would be grateful for our family, our marriage, our job, good health, enjoyable experiences, and more.  Giants fans this year would be thankful for another championship.  Snow enthusiasts would celebrate the recent snowfall.  Some would be praising God for peace in their world.  There are always things to be thankful for.

John tells us to also be thankful for the love God has given us.  But God’s love is not just something that blesses our lives this year, it is designed to fill our lives forever.  His love is far bigger than the events and parameters of your life.  His love is THE reservoir that fills our life to enjoy all good things.  His love empowers our love for family.  His love provides for our skills and opportunities to make a living.  His love manages all of creation to provide us the ability to live.  His love guards our health and grows our faith.  His love blossoms in every good experience, and even generates guilt in the bad ones.  Without His love, we do not exist.

Whether you are a believer or now, you are granted access to the love of God.  So no matter what has happened this past year, you have something to be THANK-FULL for.  You have been filled with His love. 

This Thanksgiving, don’t just celebrate the good things in your life … celebrate the God Filling of your life.  Praise God that He continues to shower your life with his love.  And show that love back to Him by living as His children and loving His family.
