Thanksgiving or The Giving of Thanks

I see from my last post date it has been almost a month since I last posted.  I guess I didn't have much to share.


I have been thinking a lot about our Thanksgiving.  I believe I need to put more into my thanks part.  There are many things I am thankful for on any given day.  There are days I am thankful to be able to get up and move around.  I don't usually remember and stop and give thanks for that unless I have been unable to do it for some reason. Then I think, "When I get over this, I will be a lot more thankful"  and for a time I am but then it seems to go by the wayside.   This happens with many things in my life.  It is not that I  always need to sound the words but I do need to show forth a heart of gratitude in my everyday walk with the Lord.  I need to say Thank you to those who stop and open a door for me, etc. That is only common courtesy and in the day we live in a rare thing to be said to someone.  I think it is important to let people know we are grateful for their acts of kindness and use the words.  Outside the home as well as in our homes.

I am thankful for a nice home to be able to clean.  :)  Today I have been puttering around here and there cleaning little "hot spots" in my house. You know the ones don't you?  Maybe not, but I have numerous areas that I tend to let go and they seem to grow clutter.  When I start working at them it seems the more I get cleaned up the more I want to get cleaned up.  For me working in small increments of time seems to work well.  Then I don't look at things like one massive job and give up before I get started.

I hope you will share with me what you are up to today. 
God bless,
Denise
