Yesterday was my day teaching Sunday school. Being Thanksgiving, we were talking about
what in our lives we are thankful for.
Even though some of the kids’ answers may have been predictable and
seemed simple, their reasons and thinking behind them were honest and heartfelt
and a lot deeper than one initially thought.
These kids actually noticed and appreciated things that we adults are guilty
of taking for granted or missing totally with the business of life. There were also those answers that could only
make a person smile; like the little girl who was thankful for her family, all
but her older brother, and man did she have a list of reasons.
I think daily of the blessings in my life and am very
grateful for each and every one of them.
I am fortunate to live in a country of opportunity and to be surrounded
by people and animals I love.
Take the time to enjoy and show the appreciation for the
things that truly matter.
