Thanksgiving

Thanks.  And giving.

Giving Thanks.

Sometimes God requires you to give more than you think you have.
This Thanksgiving He has required the most of me.
While I normally would fight it, and still sometimes find myself trying to 'put up my dukes' I am always always much happier to please Him.

The relationship of God as our Father has become more real to me since having children.
Real in that I realize how childlike I still am.
Hey Dad, would you mind coming with me here?  Could you tell me what to do about this situation?  I need help with this Dad.....
Please. Please.
Thank you. Thank you.

Oh yes, we CAN do things without any help from anyone.  BUT not everything.  And certainly not as best they can be done. 
We need instruction.
We need correction.
We need discipline.
We need love.

And we need to be thankful for it all.
