Thanksgiving Thoughts

Thanksgiving Thoughts

As I am writing this, there are 12 days until Thanksgiving. I love Thanksgiving. I am always reminded this time of year that we don’t always look for things to be thankful for. Some days we are just plain ungrateful. I know every morning I wake up. I try to get my mindset right. There are days I just don’t feel grateful, but I pray and I start to count my blessings. I try to live each day with a thankful heart. So today I want to show my thankfulness by sharing twelve things I’m thankful for. 11/15/2023 10:00 AM

Pack your popsicles and go
