How To Observe Thanksgiving

Count your blessings instead of your crosses.

Count your gains instead of your losses.

Count your joys instead of your woes.

Count your friends instead of your foes.

Count your smiles instead of your tears.

Count your courage instead of your fears.

Count your full years instead of your lean.

Count your kind deeds instead of your mean.

Count your health instead of your wealth.

Count on God instead of yourself.

Meet Jesus, tell Him – Thanks.

Thoughts 

. A wise man does not wish to change his situation, because he knows that  it is possible to fulfil the law of God, the law of love, in every situation. - Leo Tolstoy

. Man needs but little for his body; but all his strength is insufficient to elevate his soul. – Michelangelo

. God does not dispense strength and encouragement like a druggist fills your prescription.  The Lord doesn’t promise to give us something to take so we can handle our weary moments.  He promises us Himself.  That is all.  And that is enough. - Charles Swindoll
