My Thankful Heart

Well, hello my friends,

I hope you are happy and doing well today.

I have given myself a challenge to be more 

Thankful.

I have always thought I was a thankful person.

I do recognize the Source of my many blessings.

But, I believe I can search a little deeper into my heart.

And I will find I have much more than I had realized.

So. . . with that I decided this month of November

Was a good time for me to search deeper.

Oh, but I won't stop at the end of November.

This will be my daily quest. . .. Thankfulness.

I want to share with you the thoughts I have had in the last few days of my journey.

My Faith.

I am so thankful for my Faith in a Living God.

I have a firm testimony of His Infinite love for me.

I am thankful beyond words for the Savior, Jesus Christ.

Without Him in my life. . .I don't know how I could function.

It is through my Faith in Him that I am at peace.

He calms my troubled soul, He divinely rescues me.

I am thankful for Seasons

Not only the natural seasons of the earth.

But, I am thankful for the seasons of my life.

I am thankful to embrace the season of my life at this time.

I am thankful to enjoy the good days, and the days

That are difficult.  All days are part of my life journey.

And I am thankful for it all.

I am thankful for my Roots.

I am so thankful for my heritage.

I am thankful for the heritage of Grandmothers. . . for the women in my life

Who were nurturers and therefore passed the gift of nurturing to me.

I am Thankful for the gentleness and kind nature of these Grandmothers.

For they passed that gentleness and kindness to me.

My life was richly blessed because of them now I am blessing my family

And hopefully passing these gifts to the next generation.

I am thankful for those who have loved me.

My parents, who were young when they had me.

I only had both my parents for 7 years of my life.

My mother died, when she was 25 years old.  I was 7.

All my life I have grieved for her.  But as I search my soul

I have realized those 7 years was enough for me to know  I was loved.

With all my heart, I know someday in the eternities I will have both parents.

We will be a complete Family.

My Grandparents were the solid foundation of my life.

They were the ones that wiped my tears, and calmed my fears.

Especially my Grandma Dot.  It was her that taught me how to cope.

How to love, and how to be Thankful.

My Dad was my pillar of strength.  He showed pure fatherly love to me.

He was and always will be my Hero.

Through these wonderful people I have learned the value of

Family. . . Family Togetherness, and Love.

I am seeing my life through my Spiritual eyes.

And I am Thankful.

Please be sure to come back and see and read of

The things I am thankful for.

Have a wonderful day. . .and I hope you will search your soul

And see the world through different eyes.

So that you may be more Thankful.

Hugs,
