Thanksgiving Time

Autumn leaves are falling,

Pretty colors everywhere.

Thanksgiving day is almost here,

Another day that we may share.

The things we take for granted

Are blessings from above.

The needs He has provided,

Were given to us in love.

Let's give thanks for what we have,

Bow our heads and together pray.

As we join our friends and family,

On this Thanksgiving Day.

Be thankful that you don't already have everything you desire. If you did, what would there be to look forward to? Be thankful when you don't know something, for it gives you the opportunity to learn.

Be thankful for the difficult times. During those times you grow. Be thankful for your limitations, because they give you opportunities for improvement. Be thankful for each new challenge, because it will build your strength and character.

Be thankful for your mistakes. They will teach you valuable lessons. Be thankful when you're tired and weary, because it means you've made a effort.

It's easy to be thankful for the good things. A life of rich fulfillment comes to those who are also thankful for the setbacks. Gratitude can turn a negative into a positive. Find a way to be thankful for your troubles, and they can become your blessings.
