Many of us will gather with family, friends, neighbors, or others this week to celebrate a very special day and time of year. Thanksgiving has a tremendous meaning and has been celebrated for years and years because of the blessings we have received from the Lord. He has graciously given to us in our abundance and delivered us from hard times in the past or present days of our lives.
It is a time of reflecting on our past, remembering where we have been and how far we have come in life. It is a time for renewed hope and energy as we look forward to another day and ask God to lead us in His Way and to continue to love us in a way only He can provide.
As I have grown older and more appreciative of what and who I have been blessed with, I often wonder how I can be blessed any more than what the Lord has given me already. I am not wealthy by any means in money or material possessions but I am extremely wealthy in family, friends, and health.
