There are so many things to be grateful for! I'm afraid that it's easy to forget what Thanksgiving should be all about amid all the hustle and bustle of getting the house and food ready for the big day. Yet when I sit down with my family and look at the faces that are sitting around the tables - one table won't do any more- I feel the love and gratitude for those who are there. We are so blessed to have a home, food, clothing, good neighbors, and friends. More than anything we are blessed to have a Heavenly Father who watches over us and gives us those things that we need, though not necessarily what we want.
Our thanks needs to happen not only at this time of year, but each day, and as we look we will find the many blessings that are bestowed upon us.
So true! I think it is important to remember how many blessings the Lord gives us every day. :)
