To Thank

Thanksgiving is a day of thanks.
How much our lives would be better if we spend more time
thanking than griping.
Thanking for what we have,
for where we live, for who we are.

Thanksgiving is a day to remember.
It's not all about self, though there is some self-indulgence~
To thank is to extend outside of self.

Stretched beyond all measure,
Not sure if you will be okay.
But in the end, it's not really about you, or me.
It's really about thanking God for what He's done.

World at peace if we can hold to these things:  Love, peace and forgiveness.
But in this fallen world~  Sigh~ one can only imagine and dream....

But to come back~
Thank you for stretching me, though it hurts so much!
Thank you for reaching out to me, though it frightens me so!
Thank you for loving me, though at times I take you for granted.
Thank you for Jesus, without Him, I am forever lost~
Thank you and good night~
