There is a verse in the Bible that says, “In everything give thanks.”  That’s hard to do.  Life can throw some hard stuff at us.  But I’ve found that just the act of being thankful can create an atmosphere of gratitude that is what gets you over, around, or through hard times.

This is my encouragement to take this Thanksgiving Day to stop and count our blessings.  Each day of life is a gift.  I’m thankful for it.
