What are you grateful for? You should be able to come up with a pretty long list of relationships, events, possessions and blessings.  The truth is that most of us that live in the United States have an abundance that usually far outweigh our memory.  I think that sometimes I allow all of my many blessings to get in the way of my being thankful.  I hate to admit it, but I have at times allowed my much to get in the way of my being thankful.  It was not on purpose.  It’s just that I have so much to be thankful for that I sometimes get to focused on the wrong stuff and forget where it all comes from.

I sometimes forget to be thankful! I want to be full of joy and I should be full of joy and thanksgiving.  God has been very good to me.  Even when I have a problem, I never have to face it by myself, because God is always right here with me.  When I really stop to take the time to think about being thankful, then God fills me with his joy.

Thank You God for the good and the bad! Thank you for being with me in all situations and circumstances!  I love You and I am so glad that you allow me to be Your child!  Thank you for reminding me to be thankful and help me this month to grow my “THANKS-GIVING!”
