Alex Haley, the author of "Roots," had an unusual picture hanging on his office wall. It was a picture of a turtle on top of a fence post. When asked, "Why is that there?" Haley answered, "Every time I write something significant, every time I read my words and think that they are wonderful, and begin to feel proud of myself, I look at the turtle on top of the fence post and remember that he didn’t get there on his own. He had help."
Maybe the times when God feels the least appreciated are the same times when I feel the best about what I’ve accomplished. This Thanksgiving I need to remember "I didn't get there on my own."
Psalm 107:1"Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good; his love endures forever."
