Yep, I’m a little late to the the Thanksgiving printable party, huh? Oh well. That’s okay! Why? Well, because we should be thankful all the time. I know that I’m blessed beyond measure and I never want to take that for granted.
While I appreciate taking some extra time each Thanksgiving to be thankful, I never want to forget how blessed I truly am. I’ll never forget in Sunday School years ago, the teacher saying that when we typically pray, we are asking for things. He reminded us that we should open a prayer with thanksgiving. Thanking the Lord for all that we have. I have never forgotten that and try to open every single prayer with a word of thanks. I am truly blessed and I trust that you can say the same.
Sure, we have rough patches and rocky roads on our journey, but in the big picture, we have so much to be grateful for. I think of those in third world countries who sleep on the cold hard ground, the homeless who don’t know where they will get their next meal. I thought I would share my first chalkboard printable and keep it along the lines of something we should never forget to do: Be Thankful.

Take the time today to think about all that we have to be thankful for. I’m thankful for my family who loves me unconditionally, a supportive husband, a roof over my head, running water, freedom of religion, a vehicle, my furry friends and so much more! How about you?

Very nice Kelly, so very meaningful. I know I do tend to ask for things instead of saying thank you to God. Glad to be reminded. Hubs and I will celebrate our 45th. yr. on the 30th. He had a stroke 10/19/2010 which was quite severe but he’s pretty much ok now. He’ll always have certain problems but we’re in our early 70’s, who doesn’t. Sometimes he drives me bonkers but then I remember how I could have lost him. He’s always been a good husband.
Yesterday I was outside getting some things out of our old Sub which we use for some storage, mostly me. One of lenses in my glasses fell out. I only use them for distance so didn’t notice right away til I started to watch tv. Uh oh, now what do I do. Hubs and i went out to look for it. It could have fallen out anywhere or into something in the sub when I was digging. We circled the sub a few times, just when I was ready to give up I saw my lense in the grass by back door of sub. First thing I said was Thank You God. To me it was a miracle to find that lense. I came in the house to call to see what time the only closest optometrist place closed, it was already 4:40. The first page I came to in the yellow pages was for that eye dr., they didn’t close til 5:00. We raced into the town and got there at 4:55. Thank you God.
All our kids are healthy, their kids are healthy, even the grandson that had cancer at 14. What more could I ask for? Happy Thanksgiving
