15d ā¢ Faith in Fatherhood
š¦āØ This Thanksgiving weeks Hits Differentā¦ and Hereās Why āØš¦
Todayās message at church shook me in a way I didnāt expect.
It reminded me that Thanksgiving isnāt just a holidayā¦ itās a spiritual heart check.
Most years, we rush through the motionsāfood, family, football, leftovers.
But this year, with everything Iām walking throughādivorce, rebuilding life, trying to be the best dad I can be, waiting on new opportunitiesāGod made sure I slowed down long enough to hear Him speak.
The pastor said something this morning that landed hard:
š āGratitude isnāt a reactionā¦ itās a position of the heart.ā
And manā¦ that hit me. Because if Iām being honest, life hasnāt felt āeasy to be grateful forā lately.
But gratitude isnāt about the circumstance.
Itās about the source.
Itās about recognizing that even in the mess, God is still moving.
This Thanksgiving, my gratitude feels spiritual because:
ā¢ I see Godās hand in my healing, even on days I feel broken.
ā¢ I see purpose rising out of pain, not because Iām strong, but because He is.
ā¢ I see my daughter watching me grow, and that keeps my heart pointed upward.
ā¢ I see God closing doors I tried to pry open, only to lead me toward ones I didnāt expect.
ā¢ I feel Him reshaping my identity, not as a victim of circumstances, but as a man Heās rebuilding for greater things.
Thanksgiving isnāt about pretending everything is perfect.
Itās about saying:
āGod, thank You for being hereā¦ even when I didnāt know how to be.ā
If youāre going through something right nowāif life looks different than you imaginedājust know this:
You donāt have to feel thankful to be thankful.
You just have to return your heart back to the One who never left you.
Gratitude is spiritual.
Growth is spiritual.
And this year, so is Thanksgiving.
And honestlyā¦ I needed that.
