Dear Friends,
This is the month that we focus on being grateful. Gratitude is an essential in our lives and needed in
our society. So valuable is this and so important is this thought that thanks or thanksgiving or gratitude grateful
is mentioned 229 times in the Bible.
So what are we to be thankful for? The easy and quick answer is that we are grateful for family and
friends, jobs and school. We are grateful for home and food, pets and hobbies. We are grateful that we live in
the United States and all the luxuries that we have such as in home plumbing and bathrooms to the freedoms
that we enjoy. We have paved roads and cars to drive on the paved roads. I could go on and on.
