 This one won’t be long, I promise.

I know most of us are preparing for our Thanksgiving with our family and friends.

Just wondered….

 Points2Ponder  What are you most thankful for?

Here’s my Most Thankful list.

I am most thankful for my wife who still sees the good in me, no matter how obvious the bad is—she loves me in a way I don’t deserve! She is my safe harbor!

I am most thankful for my children—who still need me—and allow me to be a part of their lives—and make me feel useful and relevant and appreciated.

I am most thankful for my grandchildren – who don’t know that I am too heavy or too loud or too funny or too old—they just love to play and love that I join in with them.

I am most thankful for my family who are also friends; my sister-in-law who is more my lifelong friend; my brother who has always been there for me; my cousin/my sister.

I am most thankful for my friend who didn’t let traffic lights stop her back on December 12^th, 1977- and I am alive to live this wonderful life because of that!

I am most thankful for my friend who urged me to write when I least felt like I had anything to say—2 books, 3 novels, 30 author interviews and 3 years of this blog later!

I am most thankful for my friend who met me at IBM and has loved me just for being me ever since—and has allowed me to be her brother from another mother!

I am most thankful for my friend who travels the world as a missionary but still remembers to share his travels with those of us who cannot go where he goes!

I am most thankful for my friend who never knew the “old” me—before the heart attack—and just made me feel appreciated and valued—even if I am 20 years older!

I am most thankful for my memories of places visited, people met, things done, opportunities taken—that I have always found a way to make a lifetime memory!

I am most thankful for my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ—who has made all of this possible—He is the giver of life and all good gifts come from above- I owe Him my life!

 On this Thanksgiving, what are you most thankful for?

List them- count them one by one—see the many blessings that the Lord has done!

I have been singing a long all day that has just put me in such a grateful mood.

The words say…

Thanks, Thanks I give you Thanks

For All you’ve done…

I am so blessed

My soul is at rest…

Oh Lord, I give you Thanks!

 It just speaks to the moment I am feeling—I am soooo blessed, my SOUL is at rest!

Never take for granted a soul at rest—Only God can give you peace of mind!

And with all that I am praying for with family and friends—

To be able to lay my head on that pillow each night and sleep restful through the night…

No medicine needed for a good night’s rest…

For all of that…

Just have to pause and say “THANKS!”

Happy Thanksgiving!
