True Meaning of Thanksgiving for Family & Friends
HOW TO OBSERVE THANKSGIVING:
Count my blessings instead of my crosses.
Count my gains instead of my losses.
Count my joys instead of my woes;
Count my friends instead of my foes.
Count my smiles instead of my tears;
Count my courage instead of my fears.
Count my full years instead of my lean;
Count my kind deeds instead of my mean.
Count my health instead of my wealth;
Count on God instead of myself.
Happy Thanksgiving and Many Blessings to each of you.
Jo, how beautiful!
Thanks for sharing it.
This gem of wisom just might find its way into print this week.

Jo, this is so meaningful and beautiful. We always have a "family circle", which includes from the oldest to the youngest, for prayer before our holiday meal and at the same time I think I'll read this. I get so irritated to see halloween items come off the shelves and Christmas items go on those shelves. It's as if Thanksgiving isn't important enough anymore. Course it don't make retailers the money that the other two holidays do. We all need to pause and take time to "count" our many blessings. May you and all my forum friends have a very Blessed and safe Thanksgiving Holiday.
I liked it too, Jo. We do have so many joys and blessing, and so much to be thankful for.
