Be Thankful

Often times we get so caught up in everyday life that we forget to be thankful for all we have been blessed with. When we get up in the morning and comb our hair as we get ready for work- we forget to be thankful we have hair. My beautiful friend Madelyn has lost most of her gourgeous mane due to the medication she takes for Lupus. Madelyn had a mane of hair like singer Chaka Khan. Now my friend has to wear a hair piece. Madelyn who is in pain a lot never complains and she is always very thankful for everything. We should be thankful for the sunshine. We should be thankful for the rain. We should be thankful we have eyesight, hearing and sense of smell. We should be thankful we can walk, run, hop, dance, sing and laugh. We should be thankful for our children, our brothers, our sisters, uncles, aunts, cousins and friends. We should be thankful for our job, our home, our car, our bank account (no matter how small). We should be thankful for living in a free country. We should be thankful we can read and write and do math. We should be thankful when we get up in the morning and when we go to bed at night. We should be so thankful for our health, our strength and wits about us.
We all have so much to be thankful for. All of us.
We thank Our Lord for all your wonderful Blessings. AMEN!
