HAPPY THANKSGRIVING !

Thank You, God, for everything ...

The big things and the small,

For every good gift comes from God ...

The Giver of them all.

And all too often we accept

 Without any thanks or praise,

The gifts You send as blessings

Each day in many ways.

And so at this Thanksgiving time,

We offer up a prayer;

To thank You, God,

 for giving us

A lot more than our share.

First, thank You for the little things

That often come our way;

The things we take for granted

And don't mention when we pray.

The unexpected courtesy,

The thoughtful, kindly deed,

A hand reached out to help us ...

 In the time of sudden need.

Oh, make us more aware, dear God,

Of little daily graces,

That come to us with sweet surprise,

From never-dreamed-of places.

Then, thank You for the miracles

We are much too blind to see,

And give us new awareness

Of our many gifts from Thee.

And help us to remember

That the key to life and living,

Is to make each prayer a prayer of thanks,

And every day THANKSGIVING.

GOOD MORNING !

 A very Happy Thanksgiving to you! Yes, we do have a white Thanksgiving today! Before I went to bed last night we had about 2 inches. This morning it looks we did not get much more.   Hopefully the roads are all clear and salted down for our travelers today.

 I am snug as a bug in my warm house, sipping my goooood coffee and slowly waking up and enjoying every moment. I love days when there is no rush to do anything. I do not have to leave the house at all today and fully intend to take advantage of it.

TODAYS TIP FOR ENJOYING WINTER:

In winter, people stomp around in full-length fake or real furs, sweeping capes, down-turned hats,waterproof boots, d own-filled coats, red ski jackets and thick leggings. You can wear three different outfits at once without looking odd.

And here is the last of my Turkey jokes:

 What was the turkey doing in the Thanksgiving Day Parade?

Playing the drumsticks!

Q: Why wouldn't the turkey eat any dessert?

A: He was stuffed!

 

I hope you all are enjoying the holiday with family and friends and sharing a ***BIG SMILE*** with everyone you greet.

My heart is full of SUNSHINE today !

God Bless !
