Attitude of Gratitude: Day #22 Happy Thanksgiving!

I am grateful today to be able to have a day, here in America, that is set aside to remember to be thankful for the blessings that God has bestowed on us. 

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!!
 

Most of this month I have tried to focus on one thing each day in which to be thankful for. Focusing on having an attitude of gratitude has been so needed for me, especially in recent months. Lots of things have happened to us this year (of which I am sure that we are NOT the only ones.  I am aware that everybody has trials and makes errors), so it has been good for me to try and focus on things that make me happy and/or are good for me. :) Glad I did it!! It prepared me for the most meaningful Thanksgiving.

Today was a special day.  Family and Friends.  Eats and Sweets.  Good times.  I feel that God has blessed me beyond measure.  I'm so grateful that God has met my every basic need.  Food.  Shelter.  Clothing. Truly, as the scripture says in Psalm 23, I shall not want.  I'm so humbled by His goodness and provision.

My prayers are with all those who were involved in the 100 car pile-up on I-10 this morning, especially the families of those that lost loved ones today.  My heart is so saddened by this news.  It makes me more aware that every day...every moment...should count.  None of us are promised tomorrow.  So, not on just one day...or one month...of the year, should we focus on being thankful for every blessing, but every day of our life we should be thankful...and live in gratitude.   
 
Psalms 106:1 Praise ye the Lord, O give thanks unto the Lord; for he is good: for this mercy endureth forever.
 
Happy Thanksgiving!
