GIVING THANKS
THANKS GIVING IS NOT A ONE TIME HOLIDAY FOR ME!
BEING THANKFUL IS A CRITICAL COMPONENT OF TRUE HEALTH !
IT IS A DAILY & CONSTANT HABIT THAT HELPS COMBAT DEPRESSION AND/OR
DISCOURAGEMENT WHEN PLANS DO NOT TURN AS EXPECTED OR HOPED.
SO MANY TIMES THOUGHTS OR “BAD” NEWS CAN BEGIN TO DISCOURAGE US
BUT HAVING A HABIT OF COUNTING BLESSINGS AND BEING THANKFUL FOR AS MANY THINGS AS POSSIBLE STOPS A NEGATIVE ATTITUDE FROM TAKING AWAY OUR PEACE.
THANKS GIVING IS SUCH A GREAT HABIT TO HAVE!
KEEP A THANKFUL LIST GOING IN YOUR HEAD & HEART AT ALL TIMES.
WRITE DOWN & PRACTICE TELLING YOURSELF & OTHERS WHAT YOU ARE THANKFUL FOR.
WHAT COULD BE NICER THAN BEING THANKED & NOTICED WHEN WE DO SOMETHING
THAT OTHERS APPRECIATE. GOD LOVES A GRATEFUL HEART & SO SHOULD WE.
LET’S GIVE THANKS CONTINUALLY TO GOD & OTHERS AS OFTEN AS POSSIBLE.
THE LITTLE THINGS THAT OFTEN GO UN~NOTICED TURN OUT TO ACTUALLY BE
THE BIG THINGS IN LIFE:
*SMILES ( COLLECT & THANK OTHERS WHEN YOU RECEIVE A GENUINE SMILE!)
YOU WILL BE SURPRISED HOW MANY PEOPLE NEED A SMILE OR A THANK YOU
TO BRIGHTEN THEIR DAY ….INCLUDING YOU!
*SUNRISES & SUNSETS ~ NOTICE THEM & MAKE A POINT TO THANK GOD!
THEY ARE POSTCARDS FROM OUR CREATOR & WE SHOULD RESPOND TO ETERNAL MAIL!
*FLOWERS & TREES MADE FOR OUR ENJOYMENT
*A HOME GROWN APPLE OR HOME COOKED MEAL~ MANY PEOPLE DO NOT HAVE THAT BLESSING
*SHOES THAT FIT~ GROWING UP I REALLY APPRECIATED THE YEARLY NEW PAIR I GOT AT CHRISTMAS
*SOCKS WITHOUT HOLES OR SOCKS AT ALL! ( MUCH OF THE WORLD GOES BAREFOOT)
*A WARM BED ON A RAINY NIGHT WHEN FOR SOME REASON YOU CAN NOT SLEEP!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
THESE CAN ALL TURN INTO PRAYERS FOR OTHERS ~HELPING US TO REALIZE
HOW BLESSED WE REALLY ARE~
*PRAY FOR A WARM BED FOR ALL THE HOMELESS
*SOCKS & SHOES FOR THOSE WITH NONE
*AN APPLE OR SMILE FOR A HUNGRY OR LONELY PERSON
*EYESIGHT FOR THOSE WHO ARE BLIND OR AWARENESS FOR THOSE WHO
JUST DO NOT NOTICE
*FLOWERS ~ TREES
*SUNSETS & SUNRISES…THE MANY SIMPLE PLEASURES IN LIFE.
JOIN ME IN THE HABIT OF LOOKING UP IN THANKS TO
THE FATHER OF LIGHTS & NIGHTS
MAIDENS & KNIGHTS
ALL BEING SHINED UP FOR GLORY
TELLING THE STORY
OF LOVE
FROM ABOVE
