Monday morning I woke up out of sorts. For some reason during the night I drifted out of the Spirit and into the flesh.

I couldn’t figure out why. Maybe it was because on Sunday the check engine light came in my car. A check engine light is never a good thing and I was going to have to have it checked out Monday morning.

On my way to work the check engine light went off and I thanked God. Then I thanked God for having a car to drive and a job to pay for gas for the car I was driving.

I have discovered the best way to get back into the spirit is by thanking God.

As we approach Thanksgiving may we all spend a little extra time thanking God because all we have is a gift from God.
