Meditation: Cultivating thankfulness

To cultivate something is to deliberately spend time and effort in order to nurture it. The gift of a garden can teach many lessons on this subject. Not only does it remind us of God’s gift of countless blessings all around just waiting for us to notice them, but it also points to the need to bloom wherever you are, offering yourself to God at the start of each day:

Sing praises! It’s harvest time again

The air is ripe at this time of year for an act of praise to our great and gracious God for his many blessings showered upon His people, especially within the calendar year. Unfortunately, Bahamians are hopelessly confused with the American thanksgiving and their history of the Pilgrim Fathers.
