Remember the Charlie Brown & Peanuts special that used to come on TV every Halloween season? When I saw a picture of a giant pumpkin from another blog, it reminded me of the Great Pumpkin.
There were some good lessons in that animated program, as in all of the Snoopy, Peanuts, and Charlie Brown series. In case you’re not sure what I’m talking about or would like to be reminded, here is a link to many of the Peanuts shows and products.

"A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving"
When I think of giant pumpkins, I have to think of bountiful harvests. This passage comes to mind:
“Blessed are all who fear the Lord, who walk in his ways. You will eat the fruit of your labor; blessings and prosperity will be yours.” - Psalm 128:1-2, NIV
Although I can’t quite imagine eating an almost 1700 pound pumpkin, nor even much of the world’s largest pumpkin pie, I am ready to continue accepting bountiful harvests from the Lord’s hand! Check out the record-breaking pictures here, if you like:

The fact is: God has already sent us so many bountiful blessings in our lives, no matter what our current situation seems to be. I encourage you to spend this week especially in counting up the treasure of bounty in your own storehouse. What has God already given you in blessings through friends and family, material possessions, work, health, mission and purpose, faith and spiritual truth?
It might surprise you once you take a moment to really take stock. The amazing thing is that God wants to pour out even more blessings on your life. Only you can stop the flow of his blessings on you by not acknowledging him or by not obeying what he tells you to do to walk forward in his continued favor.
Make sure you don’t miss any good gifts by your lack of obedience or praise! (Review yesterday’s blog if you need to!)
Have a thankful and more blessed day – and week!
