HAPPY THANKSGIVING

 Happy Thanksgiving! I want you to know that my heart is with you today and that along with you, I am living with great gratitude and thanksgiving for all that God has done for us! I want you to know that I am grateful to be in your life and to be able to be a part of your relentless pursuit of our loving God! I’m praying for you today and asking God to grant you a wonderful time with those you love! 

We all have a lot to be grateful for, and today is a great day to express it! Last year, I sent you a list of ways to observe Thanksgiving – here it is. 

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.  

These are all great ways to get your heart into a place of sincere gratitude towards God. I love what apostle Paul said to the church at Thessalonica. 

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

What a great day to give God thanks! With so many things to be grateful for, I’m sure you will spend a significant portion of your day expressing to God and others all the many things you are thankful for! 

Hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving! I love and appreciate you all! 

HAPPY THANKSGIVING
