Gratitude Gifts Today

It's Thanksgiving weekend here.   Between gathering with family, eating traditional foods and giving thanks for a season of growing and harvesting, is the feeling that I am so very glad that my thanks happens every day.  And I am thankful that my God extends His grace to me, new and fresh every day.  Reading Ann's book, 1000 Gifts, has produced in me a changed heart and a changed way of looking at my life.  How very amazing and wonderful is my God who supplies all, far beyond my needs and expectations - every single day!
