ACTION after THANKSGIVING – What do you do after this day of thanksgiving, and all the affirmations of thanks? I hear hundreds, of people proclaim their most precious blessings that people grateful for during Thanksgiving..... And, while I do not doubt the spoken word of those who mention their personal thanks, the vocalization of these words become so much more powerful, when followed by matching actions. In other words, its like meeting a person of quiet confidence and character..... That individual does not need to speak of his confidence, because others will notice it in his actions, without his own urgency to remind people through his spoken words. While professing thanks is awesome, words become magnified by action. It is not just what we say that impacts people, it is what we do. Naturally we give thanks to God for all we undeservedly have. Then after voicing those announcements of gratitude, we must remember to act with those convictions in our commitments. We recollect when our lives were not so easy, and that, with our current privileges, we aim to serve, and are empowered to assist, those who now need us to help them. We change lives through action. This is how we show what a grateful and joyful attitude realistically means. It is not just enough to give thanks in an everyday prayer and conversational small talk. After Thanksgiving, leaders must take action to sincerely illustrate how appreciative we truly are. That vivid representation of gratefulness, then creates a compelling story to share. Thanks and/or gratitude, should be lived-out and shown in our everyday routines and responsibilities. Colossians 3:17...Let the peace of Christ keep you in tune with each other, in step with each other. None of this going off and doing your own thing. And cultivate thankfulness. Let the Word of Christ (the Message) have the run of the house. Give it plenty of room in your lives. Instruct and direct one another using good common sense. And sing your hearts out to God! Let every detail in your lives—words, actions, whatever—be done in the name of Jesus.... Thank God the Father, every step of the way.
