PPT: Thanksgiving

I have been given so many blessings. I am trying to teach my children to recognize the blessings they have received also and give God thanks. The answers to the question, "What good things have I been given?" easily number in the millions, but they can be hard to admit when I'm in a poor mood. If my attitude is negative, I become side-tracked by all the challenges I'm facing and all the perceived wrongs against me. When that happens I find it helpful to focus on the simple and obvious blessings. Nothing is too small or insignificant:

• Today's or yesterday's food
• Blue sky
• Family and friends
• A roof over my head
• Spring (summer/fall/winter)

My blessings from God are numerous, but sometimes it's the very simple that Works for Me.
