Friends, Thanksgiving is a day set aside for the specific purpose of looking around our world in order to stir up our awareness; acknowledging the good things that are abounding in our lives. Sometimes it’s much easier to notice the missing pieces, the failures, and the disappointments, but when this is the case it is all the more important to ask our good God to help us cultivate a Thankful attitude of Gratitude. The experts tell us that we have many more blessings than the rest of the world. We spend more money and time on attempting to lose weight than in the pursuit of food. We are more concerned about adequate storage than the need to put a roof over our heads … yet when we pause on this day of Thanksgiving we may find we have a definite need for a reminder of the goodness of our God and His commitment to our care and well being. Let’s count our blessings. Thank the people who care for us. Ask for ways to be a Blessing to others and stir up the cup of Gratitude in our lives. I wish you a wonderful weekend of genuine THANKSGIVING filled with GRATITUDE.
