Sometimes I forget lessons of the past. How about you?
For years I have encouraged our local church to celebrate Thanks-living month...and it suddenly occurred to me that I wasn't doing that so well this month. It's only 9 days into it and I've been ill, but I'm ready now. Here's just a few things on my list:
...Thankful for compassionate children. They really do care about others.
...Thankful for the experiences in my life that taught me how faithful God is.
...Thankful for opportunities to meet people from all over the world and appreciate our differences and our commonality.
...Thankful for the opportunity I had to finish my college education, even after I was an adult, and that it has made a difference in my present work situations.
...Thankful for the ability to spend time with my husband and see glimpses of the man he has been.
...Thankful, of course, for my 5 amazing grandchildren.
So are you making a THANKS LIVING list? Perhaps you will want to share it with friends or family on Thanksgiving Day. May you be reminded of God's rich blessings in your life!
