This should be the post where I list all kinds of things I'm thankful for, albeit one week late. It isn't. This should also be the Thanksgiving post, offering insight into a holiday and a way of life, but it isn't. I don't have time for that.
As I get older that list keeps growing: the list of dreams and plans that are not going to happen. What time a busy schedule and commitments don't eat up sloth and personal vices do. Life keeps slipping by, and that series of blog posts that was going to change the world remains unwritten.
But I'm not getting hung up on that—looking at all I've left behind. What I have, this one moment now, I will be glad and thankful. With this breath, with this sentence, with these thoughts I will seize the chance to praise my King and Savior. He is anointing my head with his grace and love, and I see it.
I don't have time to revel in all the shapes and colors of grace streaming into my life now, but I want to point there. I need to see it: I come so quickly to the end of myself. I am a week creature, and easily loose it all, if I'm not delighting in His goodness.
Do you see it? Do you feel your need to delight in his love today—to know that He is your salvation? Take this moment and gaze with delight and thanksgiving: look to Jesus Christ.
