On Being Thankful…

As we more fully enter into November, a traditional month of Thanksgiving, some words from  Scripture and a separate quote to consider. 

Being thankful is a choice…

 Rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.

1 Thessalonians 5:16-18

 Keeping perspective promotes a thankful heart…

 Some people are always grumbling because roses have thorns; I am thankful that thorns have roses.

 Alphonse Karr
