Words That Inspire

source

You don't need a turkey to celebrate thanksgiving. All you need is a reason. God has given you more reasons to be thankful than He's created stars in the sky. So, why wait?
Start with what you see ~~ the clothes you're wearing, the food in the fridge, the beauty of an Autumn day. Then, think about the people you love and how they've touched your life. Next, consider what God's given you that can't be held in your hands ~~ things like hope, forgiveness, and your future home in Heaven. Sit quietly as God brings even more reasons to mind.
Stopping to say "thanks" will remind you of how big God is and how good your life is when He's in it, no matter what day it is.

A humble mind is the soil out of
which thanks naturally grows.
Henry Ward Beecher

Oh that's such a nice read. Good thing I don't need a turkey because I don't have one...yet. There are, truly, always so many things to give thanks for. Have a blessed Thanksgiving, Carol.
