~~~Happy Thanksgiving Day~~~

    

Colossians 3:12-13

New International Version (NIV)

 12 Therefore, as God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. 13 Bear with each other and forgive one another if any of you has a grievance against someone. Forgive as the Lord forgave you.

 Good morning to each of you and ~~HAPPY THANKSGIVING DAY~~ I pray that your morning has gotten off to a wonderful start, that the prep for your meal is going smoothly and that you are wearing a smile on your face and have calm in your heart! I remember the days when I would wear myself out, cleaning, planning, shopping, prepping...everything had to be just perfect! I would be a stressed out frazzled mess by the time it was time to eat. I found that in the hustle, bustle of my day things would not go as I had visioned them, it took me many years to realize that if I had not stressed and gotten totally "discombobulated" my food would have tasted better and my blood pressure would have remained within range. Take your time today, realize that it does not have to be perfect and that the entire meaning is giving Thanks and allowing those who you are thankful for, know it! Breathe, breathe, breathe...

     I give thanks this day for each of you reading this, writing has been a passion of mine for many years, and although I don't have any great story to tell, any great drama to share, and great talent or ability, in your reading my daily writings I feel blessed to be able to continue sharing with you my thoughts and feelings! God bless you all with his great love, compassion, mercy, and grace. In the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.



     Gratitude is our most direct line to God and the angels. If we take the time, no matter how crazy and troubled we feel, we can find something to be thankful for. The more we seek gratitude, the more reason the angels will give us for gratitude and joy to exist in our lives.
