Of all the inner virtues important to the development of our Christlikeness, I believe that thankfulness is one of the most neglected ,and underrated. Thankfulness has little to do with how much we own. A heart of gratitude is based instead on an understanding of the source of our spiritual and emotional riches. All we require in order to cultivate a grateful heart, is a little bit of time. Time to reflect on the out pouring of Christ's love that is evident in our lives. Thanksgiving is not just a holiday..it is a holy way of life. It is a new perspective, that guards us from greed and self centeredness, that tenderizes our hearts and renew our minds. Everyday is Thanksgiving to those who live in God's spiritual bounty.
How about you, is everyday thanksgiving for you, because you live in God's spiritual bounty?
Thank you to all of you, who generously have given financially, your time, believing in us, for our children, especially with your love, and prayers. They are indeed timeless treasures in which we will carry in our hearts forever.
May you have a blessed day, living in the presence of our amazing Lord!
