I came across an old Chinese legend that tells of a group of elderly, cultured gentlemen who met often to exchange wisdom and drink tea. Each host tried to find the finest and most costly varieties of tea leaves, to create exotic blends that would arouse the admiration of his guests.
When it came time for the most respected of the group to entertain, he served his tea with unprecedented ceremony, measuring the leaves from a golden box. Upon tasting the tea, the assembled group praised the exquisite drink. The host simply smiled and said, "The tea you have found so delightful is the same tea our peasants drink. I hope it will be a reminder to all that the good things in life are not necessarily the rarest or the most costly."
The good things in life are usually right in front of our faces - family, friends, clothing, shelter. We often take them for granted and neglect to see how very precious they truly are. This Thanksgiving
let's remember to thank God for all His blessings toward us, both big and small. We all have so much to be thankful for!
Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
The Truth
"I will bless the Lord at all times, His praise shall continually be in my mouth." (Psalm 34:1)
