Life is full of reasons to be thankful!

Life is full of reasons to be thankful! How often have you received something and then forgot to thank the individual for what you had received? I get myself so wrapped up in doing things and keeping busy that I do not always express my thanks; not because I am ungrateful, but because I am distracted and I simply forgot. Days later, I mentally beat myself up for not be- ing more sensitive and caring to the people who have reached out to me in some way. I remember a saying my niece posted on her Facebook page which I though was a profound statement. It said...

What if you woke up today with only the things you thanked God for yesterday? If that was true, I wonder what you would see before you each day! So, as Thanksgiving approaches, let it be a time to extend your thanks to all who have reached out and helped you in someway this past year. May it also be a time to thank God for all his blessings, for all he has helped you to accomplish in your life and for all the good things he continues to provide and do for you each day. God deserves our thanks all the time!

God’s blessings and peace from: Ellory Christianson, Diane Gibas, Nancy Hendry, Doc Moss, Carolyn Nutt, Pam Peterson Children’s Prayer Time Dear God, thank you for providing for our needs. If I have plenty or just a little, help me to always share with others what you have given me. Amen.
