Real thankfulness requires a measure of humility
because thankfulness involves the realization that we are receiving goodness
from a source outside of ourselves. After all, if we are responsible for all
the goodness in our lives thankfulness is no longer necessary. In this case, the
only attitude necessary is a sense of amazement at ourselves for how incredible
we are. (I’ve tried being amazed at myself a number of times and it never works
very well. I find it disappointing.)
Are we willing to humble ourselves and recognize the
wonderful blessings in our lives we did not create?
This humility will lead to thankfulness which will
bring yet another blessing: Joy.
I humbly wish you a Happy Thanksgiving, lots of joy
and God’s continued blessings!
With much love,
Dan
