Thankfulness

I have enjoyed reading the postings on FaceBook for the 30 days of Thankfulness for the month of November. It is a tradition in our family, that before we eat Thanksgiving dinner each person in our family shares the thing they are most thankful for that year. This year I am most thankful for the enlightment that God has given me this year.

It is kind of a funny story or at least it's funny to me. Almost thirty years ago, God told me he was going to take me from the darkness to the light and take me a way I had never been before. He certainly did that and continues to do it. But what was funny was at the time I was in church and born again and I thought I was already in the "light". Little did I know! God in His wonderful, great goodness continues and continues to bring me to the light. There is a scripture that says, Light arises in the darkness for the upright. I would like to say that light is arising in the darkness for mankind. We just need to have eyes to see and ears to hear.

I have many things to be thankful for this year but that is the one I'm most thankful for.
