Give Thanks to God
Gratitude:“a feeling of being thankful to someone for doing something.” That’s the definition supplied by my word processor. Almost all definitions of the word include two ideas. One, there’s something for which you’re thankful, and two, there’s somebody to whom you feel thankful for that something.
From my heart to yours
I am so thankful for so many people and things. Physical blessings, tender mercies, protection, random beauty. Don’t you think it’s a wonderful thing to know Whom to thank? Today I’m grateful for my parents visiting, for my sister’s oatmeal currant scones (too good to be true, but they are!), for rain instead of snow, and new snow tires (because it will eventually, inevitably snow). I could go on, but you probably want to start on your own list.
Serving our sweet Savior,
