TBT

You have probably heard the term TBT. It stands for "Throwback Thursday," or sometimes "Throwback Tuesday." If you go on social media sites like Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram on Thursdays you will see lots of old pictures of people with the hastag #TBT. The reason people love  TBT is because it gives them a chance to go back and remember good times in their lives. People love to poke fun at their big hair, clothing, and cultural emphasis of whatever year the photo is from. Let's face it. We all enjoy looking back at our younger, slimmer, and full heads of hair selves!

There is another important TBT coming up this week-Thanksgiving. It is a time to remember the good things God has blessed us with. Psalm 103:2 tells to, "Bless the Lord, O my soul, and all that is within me, bless His holy name." The Psalmist tells us here that we are to remind ourselves of all the blessings God has given to us-forgiveness, hope, grace, peace, family, friends, material blessings, etc.

This Thanksgiving, take a moment to recount all of the wonderful things God has surrounded you with. Have your own #TBT with your family. You will be surprised at the good memories you will share and create.
