Something weird just happened; I paused to read my devotion and the title for it today is "Be grateful for your blessings." How fitting! So, I'll end today's Thankful Thursday with a few lines from it.
Only as you look back do you realize that what you have, is much more important than all the things you don't have.
Happiness doesn't come from getting what you want, it comes from appreciating what God's given you.
Instead of whining and complaining about your lot in life, stop and ask yourself, "What would I take in exchange for what I have?" If you don't know the answer, begin counting your blessings and thanking God for them.
Blessings to you,
Carrie

There are always things we can be thankful for.

It is awesome to have the gift of salvation to be thankful for so many times over this year. And that is one good price for gas LOL
Such precious blessings, praise God for these dear souls.
Praising Jesus with you on all your blessings! In Him ~ Sherrylinn
