Happy Thanksgiving

Grace isn't a little prayer you chant before receiving a meal.  It's a way to live.  ~ Jacqueline Winspear

Not what we say about our blessings, but how we use them, is the true measure of our thanksgiving.  ~W.T. Purkiser

And let the peace that comes from Christ rule in your hearts. For as members of one body you are called to live in peace. And always be thankful.  Colossians 3:15

Happy Thanksgiving!

Praying God's love and blessings are evident to you, no matter what season of life you are walking through right now.  Remember what you do have in your life, and that life is not about things.  Be thankful, and focus on the many wonderful gifts God has given to you this year, this day.   Love those around you, and be grateful.  I think we get to focused on stuff in our society, and we forget to just stop and look around and be thankful for the blessings of life, love, family, friends, the simple things that bring true happiness.  If you are having a hard time focusing on gratitude, take a few moments to sit down with a pen and paper and look around you.  Focus on the many things you have to be thankful for, and start writing them down.  Have a roof over your head, a family to love, some type of food to eat, life to live, then write them down, and say thanks.  How about the beauty of creation that God has given to each of us...look outside, He is the ultimate artist and there is much to be thankful for as we stand in awe of His creation.  

Enjoy the day, and remember to give thanks, in all circumstances.

Be thankful in all circumstances, for this is God’s will for you who belong to Christ Jesus.  1 Thessalonians 5:18

If you want to turn your life around, try thankfulness.  It will change your life mightily.  ~Gerald Good
