I Didn’t Give Thanks

It's Too Late

At least not publicly on my blog.

I always do this. Or should I say that I never do this? I miss the holidays and miss out on connecting with the “online community.” I don’t know why, I just never put enough effort in to being seasonal. Actually, I did write about one holiday this year, but it wasn’t in celebration of it. I wonder why I do this.

Maybe I just don’t like conformity.

Sometimes when I feel like I should do something because everyone else is, I purposefully don’t do it. But I don’t think that means I don’t like conformity, because in other things I do like it. For instance, God’s sovereignty in salvation has been a topic I’ve debated about. One one hand, I would like us all to be conformed, or maybe I should use the word “unified,” to God’s sovereignty in salvation; on the other hand, I’ve enjoyed the conversations and debates that I have had about it.

But just so you know, I am thankful for Thanksgiving.

I appreciate everything I have, even though I’m selfish and want more. God continues to remind me that what I have is more than what I need, and what I need He ALWAYS provides.

Maybe I’ll try to be a little more conformed when it comes to seasonal things. I’ve always had a problem with this, even in the church world. You know, you gotta be seasonal with all the holidays so you can connect with your congregation… blah, blah, blah. Yeah, I know.

So I don’t keep up with the seasons like some people do, but at least I am keeping up!

In spite of everything I just said, I still think you all rock and thank you so much for subscribing and visiting this blog website.
