A Month of Giving Thanks
Each day of November, think of someone or something you are thankful for.
How did that person or event influence your life for the better?
How were you…
…inspired
…challenged
…blessed
…graced
Now remember there are every day ordinary people and events that will unassumingly share God’s Glory.
We should certainly count our ordinary blessings, and make each one count with goodness galore.
The invariable mark of deep wisdom is to see the miraculous in the very common.
To be grateful…..is to recognize God in everyone and everything.
