| Isaac Staten's Fried Turkey "Eat At The Top" |
This Thanksgiving I wanted to do something different. The title of this post is "Thank It Forward" and this week I want to find some people that have been in need and see about that need this week.
I have a list already of what I am going to do. I am not going to make it where it is an impossible deed for anyone, but really just based on some things I know are within my realm of things I can obtain and things I can do for someone else.
When I thank forward this week I want to be able to tell people exactly who they are to me and thank them for the level of love and support that they have given me in my life and over the years.
Let me explain this.
In Bible study last week Wendesday, my pastor here in town suggested that we thank it forward. I thought wow that's just like pay it forward almost. But he was saying it in reference to Thanksgiving the holidays and being just good stewards.
So I am making a conscious decision to Thank It Forward this week.
In addition to my rants and raves about saving money this year I want to make sure that I am clear that this season is not all about money. It's about more than that. It's what my pastor talked about in service about us being servants to one another, to this life and savoring the gift of it.
Well at least that's how I took it.
I know that we all want to have a good life but with this particular point in my life I am learning that a good life is not the things that we acquire because you ever notice when you get those things, the thrill wears off and you are ready for more? I have officially realized that we are in love with the passion and the thrill and excitement of the journey to get to that point that we have placed in our minds called "There" or "The Ultimate Prize" or "The Final Destination".
So to sum it all up, I am thanking it forward this week.
On Facebook I will thank it forward to friends and loved ones, I will thank it forward all over my community and in my family.
I'll tell you about it and if you see feel the need to join me Tweet your thoughts and what you have done to thank it forward.
In the end the world will be a better place.
