I enjoy reflecting on poems and quotations We have much to be thankful for even though we do not always realize it! I've included a poem, four quotes, and a video in this blog.
Also, I am including link to see quotes from former United States Presidents giving thanks to our Father! Click HERE to view video.
Be Thankful
Be thankful that you don't already have everything you desire, If you did, what would there be to look forward to?
Be thankful when you don't know something For it gives you the opportunity to learn.
Be thankful for the difficult times. During those times you grow.
Be thankful for your limitations Because they give you opportunities for improvement.
Be thankful for each new challenge Because it will build your strength and character.
Be thankful for your mistakes They will teach you valuable lessons.
Be thankful when you're tired and weary Because it means you've made a difference.
It is easy to be thankful for the good things. A life of rich fulfillment comes to those who are also thankful for the setbacks.
GRATITUDE can turn a negative into a positive. Find a way to be thankful for your troubles and they can become your blessings.

"If you concentrate on finding whatever is good in every situation, you will discover that your life will suddenly be filled with gratitude, a feeling that nurtures the soul."
Rabbi Harold Kushner *******
Many persons have a wrong idea of what constitutes true happiness. It is not attained through self-gratification but through fidelity to a worthy purpose.
Helen Keller *******
When one door of happiness closes, another opens; but often we look so long at the closed door that we do not see the one which has been opened for us.
Helen Keller *******
When we do the best that we can, we never know what miracle is wrought in our life, or in the life of another.
I thought "Be Thankful" was a good perspective on the way we may be blessed--without realizing it sometimes. I also thought Rabbi Harold Kushner and Helen Keller's quotations were good to think about!
Thank you, Brenda! Yes, when we really stop and think--we are very BLESSED! Sometimes it takes a while to STOP and think!!! Thanks for the star and comment.
