Eucharisteo

It is that time of the year; Thanksgiving break.  I don't usually make a big deal about this holiday.  I believe that we should live a life of thanksgiving all throughout the year and not only the last weekend of November, but I decided to blog about it.  Why not...

Eucharisteo is a greek word that means to be grateful, to feel thankful and to give thanks.  Since I moved to New York City I learned to live my life based on eucharisteo.  It is not easy you know?  I complain, I cry, I get frustrated all the time, but the Lord is really working in this area of my life.  There are family issues going on back home and I've learned to give thanks to God because the results of these trials will develop perseverance (according to the book of James).
Life in NYC is also very expensive and I get frustrated because I don't have enough income, but I've learned to also give thanks because I am learning to trust in God that He will provide and that He has everything under control.  This may sound a bit cliche but every day is a new day to give thanks, there is so much beauty around us that we take for granted.  Blessings that God pours on us that we don't even notice.
We need to live out more eucharisteo, I life of thanksgiving, joy & grace.

And you?  What are you thankful for today?

"Always be joyful, never stop praying.  Be thankful in all circumstances, for this is God's will for you who belong to Christ Jesus."  ~  1 Thessalonians 5:16
