THOUGHT FOR TODAY
There are no mistakes, no coincidences. All events are blessings given to us to learn from.
Elisabeth Kübler-Ross
Every day is a good day to celebrate the blessings we have in our lives. It’s good to remember all that we have and all that is right in our life. I make it a routine to write them down daily in a journal and share them here with you all each day. Being thankful brings peace and hope. Being thankful is also contagious. Hopefully I can encourage you all to do the same.
We had a great family Thanksgiving celebration yesterday and I’d like to say THANK YOU to my daughter and her husband for a wonderful day. They did a great job of hosting our family gathering.
The pictures today are just a few of the many I took yesterday and I’ll be sharing more in the days to come.
I hope you all have RESTFUL and RELAXING Sunday!
Be Thankful
Be thankful that you don't already have everything you desire.
If you did, what would there be to look forward to?
Be thankful when you don't know something.
For it gives you the opportunity to learn.
Be thankful for the difficult times.
During those times you grow.
Be thankful for your limitations.
Because they give you opportunities for improvement.
Be thankful for each new challenge.
Because it will build your strength and character.
Be thankful for your mistakes.
They will teach you valuable lessons.
Be thankful when you're tired and weary.
It means you've made a difference.
It's easy to be thankful for the good things.
A life of rich fulfillment comes to those who are also thankful for the setbacks.
Gratitude can turn a negative into a positive.
Find a way to be thankful for your troubles and they can become your blessings.

COUNTING MY GIFTS
Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today, and creates a vision for tomorrow.
Melody Beattie
I have counted at least 3 things I'm thankful for each day and this past year counted my first 1000 gifts. I'm not stopping, but will continue on counting. There is always, always something to be thankful for.
1161. for a quiet Sunday to rest and relax
1162. for a family that shares and cares
1163. for leftover turkey
Enter into His courts with thanksgiving — and in His presence is fullness of Joy!
PRAYER FOR OUR TROOPS
Please pray for God's protection of
our troops and HIS wisdom for their
commanders.
Lord, hold our troops in
your loving hands.
Protect them as they protect us.
Bless them and their families for the
selfless acts they perform for us
in our time of need. I ask this in the
name of Jesus, our Lord and Savior.
AND bless our Police Officers, Firefighters
and Paramedics and EMT's
GOD BLESS YOU ALL!
Cultivate an attitude of gratitude, of giving and forgiving. Nothing can bring you peace but yourself.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
A little smile, a word of cheer,
A bit of love from someone dear…
Love,
ma
You're blessed when you're content with just who you are—no more, no less. That's the moment you find yourselves proud owners of everything that can't be bought
Matthew 5:5 (MSG)
