A Thanksgiving Gratitude Journal

In the midst of our daily routines we are not always aware of the many things that touch our lives and give us hope. This gratitude journal offers but a glimpse of the riches we enjoy ...

* For beauty that pleasures the eye and stimulates our creative focus,

* For friendships not bounded by time or space,

* For strength, hope and courage in the midst of diversity, suffering and pain,

* For braiied chicken, roast potato and pumpkin pie to satisfy the palate,

* For faith that transcends the unknown and does not depend on certainty in a chaotic world,

* For unexpected support when trials come upon you,

* For laughter that tickles the soul and refreshes the mind,

* For apparel that makes us feel attractive, confident, and provides necessary warmth and protection,

* For prayers that reach to all corners of the earth - encouraging, healing and offering hope,

* For knowledge and wisdom that enables us to see beyond the obvious and understand the larger realities that shape our lives,

* For creative genius that lets us communicate across the oceans and skip over time zones while sitting in our armchairs,

* For the gift of life with its challenges and dreams - for all these things we give thanks and offer up a song of gratitude and praise!
