As We Gather Together…..Nov. 23, 2005

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

May your Thanksgiving Day be a peaceful one
                 ~Happy Thanksgiving~
