A Heart of Thankfulness

It’s Wednesday! This week many of us will express gratitude and thankfulness more than ever. I pray that thankfulness will not only take place tomorrow, but you will always have express thankfulness daily. God has been so gracious and so kind to us. God has brought us through a season, where we did not know when or if we could gather. God has made provisions for us and our family. God has healed our bodies and our broken hearts. God has restored what we loss and the things we thought we could not live without. God has allowed us to experience peace, joy and sustain our minds. I pray that you never cease thanking Him not only for the big things, but what we consider small things as well. The things like breath, activity of our limbs, another chance to make today better than yesterday, and so much more.  
I know many of us are spending time this week family. As we sit at the table, never forget how God has blessed you and your family. Never forget to maximize the time you are here. Never forget to forgive often, love intentionally, laugh often, breath when it is heavy and smile when it is hard. Life is precious. At some point, we must realize that is not about how much you can acquire, but what you do with what you have been given. 
For some families, there will be an empty seat at the table. If it is your family, then I am praying for your strength to make it through another holiday. If you know of someone, do not forget to check in on them. I pray that your tears will turn to laughter as you remember those whom you love and miss so much. Every day you should awaken to a heart full of thankfulness and gratitude. Be thankful in everything and always remember that you are loved. Until Friday…..Lady T
