Remembering to be thankful everyday for the things we have brings peace into our lives, and as we express thanks to Our Father in Heaven, He helps us see other things He has blessed us with, things we didn’t notice. When I was young I complained because of the things I didn’t have, but I took a challenge to remember to thank my Father in Heaven every night when I said my prayers before bed, for the things I had. As I did this, I began to appreciate the things I had and as time went on that list grew as He showed me other blessings He had given to me that I didn’t notice. Now I thank Him for all my blessings, seen and unseen. Gratitude does really make what we have, enough.

This year and into the next, think of things you can do to help those that have less than you. Help at a food bank, or donate food to a food bank. Give clothing that is in good condition that you don’t or can’t wear any more to a clothing donation non profit, do service with your church or other organization to help others in need. There is always someone who has less than you who’s life you can bless. Helping, not only makes you feel good, but helps you to see all the things you have been blessed with. It brings gratitude for what we have and that brings peace. May you all have many blessings as you give and serve others. Wishing you all much love and a very Happy Thanksgiving day.
