Speaker 1 (00:00):
All right, guys, here we are our last break of
the day. Happy Thanksgiving week. I was in my closing
remarks this to people that you take this time that
they call Thanksgiving and you implemented in your daily regiment.
(00:25):
Stop waiting to Thanksgiving, to thank God for the year,
thank God for the blessed man. We ought to be
doing this every single day, every single day. Look, I
don't celebrate Thanksgiving for any other reason, just except just
to see my family. That's the only reason I have Thanksgiving.
(00:47):
I can care less what they talking about. Some pilgrims
and the matter horn and then Native Americans that rescue them.
They should have left all of them on that damn boat.
Shouldn't have made now quilt, shouldn't have planned now row
a con. If you knew this what they was gonna
do to y'all, man, i'da let they add freeze out
(01:08):
there on that damn rock. Really, really, man, if you
knew this what they was gonna do, would you not
have left them on Plymouth Rock right where they was?
I mean, let's just be real. Let's just deal with
the real history of what this country has done. So
instead of getting into that, let's be thankful all year round.
(01:29):
I mean, man, take some time out and put this
in your every day regimen. Don't let a day go
by that you don't wake up and give God thanks.
Stop laying down at bed at night without thanking God
for your day. The fact that you are able to
lay there and lay down and get a chance to recuperate,
(01:51):
regenerate yourself to go out here and deal with it tomorrow,
that's another reason to be thankful. Don't wait on Thanksgiving
to be thankful. Some time with your family, enjoy them.
You know, there's some people that ain't hear this Thanksgiving
that was at the last one. You know, you got
to think about that. You got to thank God that
(02:11):
you still here, you still have a measure of health.
You don't stop talking about what you don't have, and
how about if you focus on some of the things
that you do have. You know, I was praying about
this certain deal I wanted to happen, you know, and
I was just I kept hampering it, just hammering the
(02:31):
prayer home that I want this deal. I want this deal.
I want this deal. And God reminded me of something.
How he did it, I can't share it, but he
reminded me of something, he said, Steve. It's almost like
he didn't. I didn't hear a voice or nothing, but
it came to me in the form of Steve. Have
you stopped to take a look at what I've already
(02:52):
done for you? So, while you sitting up in here
with all this concern about what you don't have, have
you taken a look round, young man, at what I
have done for you? Have you not taken an inventory
of all the blessings I've given to you that you
didn't even know you had come in your way? Do
(03:14):
you know all the grace that I've afforded you in
your life? Do you know how many times I've forgiven you?
Do you have any idea of the number of times
I had your back when you didn't know I was
covering you. Do you know how many times I work
stuff out on your behalf, so when you walked into
the room, it was already done. Do you know the
(03:35):
rooms that are speaking your name right now? And you
have no idea that I'm arranging things in your life?
You study asking me for something, boy, But have you
stopped to remember what all I have done for you? You
tell people all the time that you one of my favorites.
But do you know why you one of my favorites.
(03:56):
Have you taken the time to go down the list
of stuff I've done for you? Steve? And Man, when
I do that, I get real quiet. I get real
quiet because God been good to me. But if you
take an inventory of your life, I bet he being
(04:18):
good to you too. But see what you gotta do
is you gotta stop comparing yourself to others. Just just
just go down the list of what He done for you.
Skip the car you see in the neighbor's yard every year.
You don't know what that neighbor going through. Some of
these people barely making payments on this stuff. Right here, Man,
there's people doing stuff just to show out. You don't
(04:38):
even know what's going on up the street. There's some
people out there you see waving at you in that driveway.
They ain't happy at all. You better go in there
and be good with your spouse. Man. If you got
a good if you got a good husband, you better
be grateful. If you got a good wife, you better
be grateful. If your family still love you, bet be grateful. Man.
(05:03):
You got a roof over your head, you better be grateful.
You eating be grateful. It's so many things to be
grateful for. God has been good to you. I'm just
a reminder because I had to remind my stupid self
sometime sitting up here steady asking for more and then
forgetting to be grateful for what I got. Man, God said,
(05:24):
you must be out your mind. Have you lost it completely?
Of all the things I've taught you, you can't remember
to be grateful to me? Are you kidding me? Steve Arvey? So,
Steve Varvey had strained himself out. So I'm telling y'all
here's my suggestion to you. Be grateful year round. Make
sure every day and every night is filled with gratitude.
(05:47):
Now in between that you can send all your requests
to God, lay them at his feet. Don't ever stop asking,
don't ever stop wanting, don't ever stop praying. But before
you pray, tell God that you're grateful for all these
dumb Before you ask for one thing from him, tell
him how much you should that you appreciate all He's
(06:10):
done for you. That simple application of gratitude will change
your attitude, which will then have a direct effect on
your altitude. Those are my closing remarks. If you did
not like those clothes. I hope you can't find any
(06:30):
playing Bark sauce. Have a great holiday, everybody, We love you.
