‘Tis the season in the U.S. to celebrate Thanksgiving and to take a moment to be thankful.

Today I would like to thank you. To thank those of you who read our blog regularly either via an email subscription or RSS feed or visiting the site.

I am grateful for the time you have invested in reading what we write. Ask any of us, and we will tell you the hours we spend in creating these posts and the discussions we have about what topics to tackle. But without you, the effort would be for naught.

Therefore, I want to sincerely and officially thank you for the time you have given to us each week.

Now, go and do likewise to someone else. Gratefulness is becoming a lost art. Take a moment to bless someone who is not expecting it because it can bring a small measure of joy in a world gone mad.

As William Arthur Ward wrote, “Gratitude can transform common days into thanksgivings, turn routine jobs into joys, and change opportunities into blessings.”

“And whatever you do, in word or deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him” (Colossians 3:17).
