I am thankful for God !!! I am so thankful for the support and love of family & Friends..So many that have lost loved ones in WAR, or Sickness...and so on... I have had it on my heart and soul to reach out and be kind to others and to think of them and not just myself. I want to quiet myself and PULL out all that I can of kindness and make some sort of difference .... I feel so sorry for the single moms who are struggling to make ends meat because maybe her child support was not paid ..........(WHOLE other soap box ) !!! I want to pray for them .Because her meal will be what she can afford .. Or the elderly who live on less to have air condition in their homes or heat... and they cant take their medication .....While I am giving thanks at my meal. I dont want to forget any of these GOOD people that are truly working hard to make it and Have just had hard times.. Some people are literally a pay check from being homeless... I can only imagine the heartache... SO when We are all giving thanks for our blessings... Let 's all promise to pray for others too... Just do what we can for them ... Even if it is just a hug , smile, anything.... Take some left overs to a shelter ... Or blankets... I think we will be blessed for the act of GIVING !!!!
Take time to soak in all the love.. When your at the table and all the kids are being noisy and the relatives are smiling and talking.. If you quiet your mind...almost like slow motion ..Scan each of them and just study it all and soak it all in ...A feeling of thanks will come over you and when you do this .. You have an appreciation when you walk away ...Like never before... ..You never know the next year if that loved one will be around anymore or what GOD has in store for them....SO really be present with them ..........
Spend time with GOD ... I feel like I know him.. I talk to him everyday ......
And dont forget .. Santa is resting up ....at my favorite spot.... Because Christmas is around the CORNER ..............
SOOOOOOOOOOOO Go and HAVE A BLESSED THANKSGIVING ...LOVE THE RUSTY PEARL...............................................................
