Come, 

let's shout joyfully to the Lord, 

shout triumphantly to the rock of our salvation!

Let's enter his presence with thanksgiving; 

let's shout triumphantly to him in song.

Psalms 95:1-2 CSB

In the midst of all the noise and the shouting and the praise to God, in the midst of the crowd raising it's collective voice, in the midst of the emotions and stirring of hearts, there's a still point.

Thanksgiving.

A heart of thanks.

A heart of gratitude.

I'm not sure that I have cultivated this well in my own life. I can focus on what I don't have so easily. I can find the negative without any effort. 

Today I'm choosing to start with Thanksgiving.

For the psalmist the focus is on God, so that's where I'll start too. 

Jesus summed up the whole of the Old Testament with Love God and Love people, so that will be next, thankful for the people He has graciously put in my life. 

Start in the stillpoint of Thanksgiving.

Of gratitude.
