Thanksgiving Reflections
Nov. 26th, 2009 11:22 amI have much to be grateful for, both now and always. This is only a short list.
I'm grateful for each new morning that I wake up Not Dead. Life is a gift from God, and whatever each day brings - joys, sorrows, challenges, triumphs - is part of the grand and glorious journey, and another opportunity to make a difference in the lives of others.
With a few minor exceptions, I've enjoyed phenomenal good health this year. Some of that is heavenly blessings, but as we know, God helps those who help themselves, and I'm grateful for the vision and work of Dr. Myron Wentz.
I'm grateful for parents who fed and clothed and educated me, and for every advantage that I've enjoyed.
I'm grateful for my children and grandchildren, who carry a part of me forward into the future,thus ensuring my immortality.
I'm grateful for the many, many friends I have all over the world. These, along with my family, are the true wealth of the earth, and I am blessed with good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over.
To you, my dear friends, may you have enough. Enough joy to make life worthwhile, enough sorrow so that you can appreciate the joy; enough health to carry you through each day in peace, no more illness than you can endure with patience. Enough of this world's goods to meet your needs as you sojourn here upon the earth, and if God wills, an abundance and overflowing so that you can touch the lives of those in need; enough triumphs so that you feel that your life has been worthwhile, enough failures that you may remain human.
God bless us, every one!
