thanksgiving

i love this time of year. some folks call it crazy season, and i can understand why they think that. but, i love it. and it all starts with thanksgiving. thanksgiving. thanksgiving! and man, do we have a lot to be thankful about. let's start with this day. a friend of mine was upset about turning 40 until i reminded him of the alternative. suddenly he was thankful for that day. whatever day it is, it's a day that has been given to us to do whatever we want. as we walk through that day think about all the other stuff we can be thankful for. who do you spend time with, no matter how little? what do you wear? what do you eat? what do you use for transportation? what do you read? what activities do you do starting with breathing? what stuff do you play with or use to make work easier? what do you drink? what are you hearing? what are you seeing? what are you feeling? where do you go on vacation? what keeps your house cool or warm? what lights do you turn on when it's dark? we have so much to be thankful for. Lord, help us to be thankful for all the amazing things You have provided for us.
