Giving Thanks

........................................................
(From: Merriam-Webster)

Thankful:
1 : conscious of benefit received 2 : expressive of thanks 3 : well pleased : glad
— thank·ful·ness noun
..........................................................

Conscious of benefit received. Thanksgiving should be a time when we consciously reflect on all the things we have to be thankful for. This of course, should be a daily occurrence. But it is significant that we have a day set aside to collectively recognize all the blessings in our lives, as well as express our gratitude for them.

I am thankful for our family and the precious moments we spend together:




For the Lord's mercies being new every morning. For freedom. For food on the table. For good health. For the ability to laugh and love. For the beauty of God's creation that we get to enjoy. For the gift of friendship with so many cherished people. For sharing burdens. For celebrations. For being loved. For being forgiven. For life and for living. For fellowship with our Creator. For hope for Eternity. For every breath we take...

Every day, every moment, every breath is a gift.

We are truly thankful.
