“We would worry less if we praised more. Thanksgiving is the enemy of discontent and dissatisfaction.” ~ H.A. Ironside
EZEKIEL 36-37
26I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit in you; I will remove from you your heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh. 27And I will put my Spirit in you and move you to follow my decrees and be careful to keep my laws.
1 PETER 3
8Finally, all of you, be like-minded, be sympathetic, love one another, be compassionate and humble. 9Do not repay evil with evil or insult with insult. On the contrary, repay evil with blessing, because to this you were called so that you may inherit a blessing. 10For,
“Whoever would love life
and see good days
must keep their tongue from evil
and their lips from deceitful speech.
11They must turn from evil and do good;
they must seek peace and pursue it.
12For the eyes of the Lord are on the righteous
and his ears are attentive to their prayer,
but the face of the Lord is against those who do evil.”a

Thanksgiving Day...so many great memories for me. Family and football and eating way too much. All in all it reminds me of the preciousness of life and that it is a gift no matter the circumstances. Every morning there is opportunity for connection and love and to build bridges of hope with other people. More than anything the gift of life and this very moment is truly a gift. This day is for me that reminder that having air in my lungs, the sun rising, my heart beating are truly miracles that I did not have to arrange for. Friends and family...it's all a gift even the negative. I love this clip...reminder that life in all it's complexity is a wonderful gift. HAPPY THANKSGIVING!
