Give Thanks

This is the time of year that we all reflect upon what we are thankful for!

I don't have to think too long before realizing how truly blessed I am. I am so very grateful for my family, my home, my business, and all the wonderful people I am privileged to work with day in and day out. I am also thankful for so many friends who I learn from every day, and who I pray learn from me as well. I am also grateful for the grace and mercy of a great God, who daily makes His presence known to me.

Here are a couple of Thanksgiving Poems I came across, and thought I would share with you today. I pray you too, have much to be thankful for!

Happy Thanksgiving!



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,
because 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.

HOW TO OBSERVE THANKSGIVING

Count your blessings instead of your crosses;
Count your gains instead of your losses.
Count your joys instead of your woes;
Count your friends instead of your foes.
Count your smiles instead of your tears;
Count your courage instead of your fears.
Count your full years instead of your lean;
Count your kind deeds instead of your mean.
Count your health instead of your wealth;
Count on God instead of yourself.
