Thankful thoughts.
Hello trusted friends and family~
I just wanted to take the time to wish each of you a special Thanksgiving full of gratitude and love. I hope and pray that each one of us will take the time to appreciate not only what we have, but WHO we have around us this year. We do not know what tomorrow will bring. Family and friends are gifts to us. Let’s let them know how much they mean to us. If you are reading this blog, I am thankful for you!! Each of you is a part of my life and you have touched my heart. Thank you!

Don’t forget the pomegranates! They add a delightful tang and color to so many things…stuffing, sweet potatoes, salads, etc.
Some people grumble that roses have thorns; I am grateful that thorns have roses. –Alphonse Karr
Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
Give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.
1 Thessalonians 5:18
Give thanks for a little and you will find a lot!
May your Thanksgiving be full of love and gratitude!

He and I get to spend a whole lot of time together.
