Wow!! That’s a lot of good things God has given me! That’s absolutely incredible!! SO many blessings, and that’s just a start! That’s not counting all of my family and material blessings. So as we go into this Thanksgiving day, we can remember all of the wonderful things that God has given us. Maybe the “great deals” that some will be fighting over wont matter so much. Maybe we can show a little bit of kindness to the people in line in front of us, and behind us. If we don’t get one of the four TV’s that a store is offering, maybe it’s not such a big deal. We already have so many things we don’t deserve. One less “good deal” isn’t really going to make that big of a difference.
As the family descends upon the yummy food and chaos follows, take a step back to remember everything that we have to be thankful for.
Today’s Blessing:
Everything I have to be thankful for!
