Interrupt Anxiety

My friend posted these words on Facebook. 

What a concept!

I have so much to be thankful for, 

I shouldn't have any problem 

interrupting anxiety with gratitude.

Ann Voscamp's November Joy Challenge, 

to name three things I'm thankful for every day this month, 

has helped me get my days into perspective.

 

Happy Thanksgiving!

Thanksgiving brings joy to many hearts. A time for family, food and gratefulness. 

Every November, I see posts that declare appreciation for many things. 

Today, I'm thankful for all God provides. 

Jesus' grace, loving family, faithful friends. 

May everyone finds something to be thankful for. 

Many folks struggle this time of year. 

Take time to find those who need a helping hand and pour your blessings over them. 

Fall Findings Friday: Bittersweet

My mom gathered bittersweet every autumn. 

She'd arrange a beautiful bouquet of this colorful berry in 

a pitcher and bowl and place it on our dining room table. 

That's when I knew Thanksgiving was around the corner.

Thanksgiving Blessings

I will join my family later today to eat the bounty of food we all prepared for this special day. I know we will have a great time. Yet, I've already been blessed beyond abundance by the Thanksgiving service we shared with our church family. What a service. The church family joined with a local Christian outreach and provided turkeys and trimmings the recipients would take home and cook for their families today, Thanksgiving. We sang, prayed and heard the truth from God's word along side people we'd just met, who came for the blessings. 

So many folks worked together to prepare for this spiritual feast of Thanksgiving. Thank you to all who took their time and resources and put this all together to praise God and his bountiful blessings. 

I pray you are all blessed on this day as you meet with family and friends to celebrate all the joys of life.

Psalm 100:4 

Enter his gates with thanksgiving

    and his courts with praise;
    give thanks to him and praise his name.
