Thankful Hearts Growing...

Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace. And be thankful. - Colossians 3.15

Let us remember to take a little time to stop and thank God for everything in our lives. We can also thank Him continuously throughout the day. We have so much to be thankful for. Did you wake up this morning? There's a good start. Did you eat some breakfast and enjoy a cup of coffee? A lot of people don't have that luxury. Did your car start? (well, on Monday it didn't) You are blessed to own a car at all.

And then there are the obvious things that we know we are thankful for, but don't quite express it enough. Like a supportive and loving family, close friends who know your dark & light and who you can share anything with, a comfortable place to live, a job, gifts and talents, this day, the faith we hold in Christ, the air we breathe, and remembering those loved ones who are no longer here with us. I am thankful for the 25 years I had with my Dad.

From a thankful heart sprouts a thriving tree bearing fruits of the spirit.

Happy Thanksgiving to you!
