So many people are posting so many things about Thanksgiving today.
So many things have already been said about Thanksgiving. About being grateful.
And today is a day to be present … yes, present in our less-than-perfect circumstances and choose to be thankful for something. For someone.
Gratitude, if nothing else, is a choice.
You are in my prayers today — and you will be throughout the holiday season. I’m thankful for each opportunity I have to connect with you. Yes, sharing quotes with you is fun, but it’s even more about connecting about things we care about: life, relationships, values, faith, and yes, fun.
In Your Words: I know everyone’s busy today, but if you’d like to share who or what you’re thankful for, please do!

I’m grateful for our friendship, too, Andrew. I’ve learned a lot from you.
I’m thankful for peace, a beautiful sunny day, packing for a great trip with friends, health for my loved ones and myself, for answered prayers and that they also know and love Jesus, and most of all that we live in a free nation that I pray will turn more and more to the Lord.
This is not at all the day I planned. I have fever and aches and am tired…but I am grateful for hubby, home, food and that I know this will pass.

I’m so sorry you’re not feeling well, Mary. But you chose to be thankful despite the unexpected interruption to your plans. Praying for you!
