Since it's Thanksgiving week I thought I should do a post about all the things I'm thankful for and then realized it would take forever to gather all the photos to go along with my list. Plus, I don't know about you, but expressing thanks for all one has can stir up discontentment in others who do not have (I'm not immune!)....and I don't want to be guilty of that. Instead, I'd rather talk about what it means to have a thankful heart. Poetry the Calico Cat knows very well what it means to have a thankful heart. Stories about her adventures in discovering where thankfulness comes from can be found on her website.
But first, let's start with this video: Muppet Christmas Carol. After watching it, please come back here.
Old Mr. Scrooge discovered that if he awoke each morning with a grateful prayer and thankful heart he'd find peace and joy. It took his being shown his bleak future to wake him up from the nightmare he was living from being so stingy and uncaring.
Our next video, Veggie Tales, we learn that a thankful heart is a happy heart and the way to achieve this is to thank God every day for everything He has given us.
In this Peanuts video Sally gripes about having to write an essay at school because of Thanksgiving. She definitely does NOT evoke the spirit of a thankful heart.
And last but not least Winnie the Pooh has some wisdom about what it means to have a thankful heart.
Thank you Father for impressing upon me my need for You and for enabling me to have a thankful heart.
