Some thoughts on Thanksgiving

Even though I clutch my blanket and growl when the alarm rings, thank You, Lord, that I can hear.  There are many who are deaf.
Even though I may huddle in my bed and put off rising, thank You, Lord, that I have the strength to rise.  There are many who are bedridden.
Even though the first hours of the day may be hectic, thank You, Lord, for my family.  There are many who are lonely.
Even though our table never looks like the pictures in magazines, thank You, Lord, for the food we have.  There are many who are hungry.
Even though my job may have some things to be desired, thank You, Lord, for the opportunity to work.  There are so many unemployed and needing a job.
Even though I may wish my circumstances were a bit different, thank You, Lord, for life.

May we give thanks in all things!
