—Deuteronomy 16:13-15

Do you have some special ways that you remember events like anniversaries and birthdays? Each of us has milestones that are unique, and the ways that we celebrate them are probably equally unique. Do you count your blessings? The Hebrews were told in this passage to remember God’s blessing to them in their bountiful harvest. As any gardener or farmer knows, it is not guaranteed that harvest will be plentiful. In the same way, seeds that we plant in our lives may or may not produce the hoped-for fruit. But when bounty comes, it is the result of God’s blessing, and most definitely worth noting and thanking Him for.
