It's beginning to feel a lot like Christmas

Yesterday was Turkey day and we all got together at my daughters house. While we ate I gave thanks to God that we are all blessed. I give thanks to God everyday. Times are so hard for so many families out there. We are blessed to have our families and a Thanksgiving feast on the table. We complain about so much all year long. Money problems, things that are wrong in the world and our country. We don't like this or don't like that. Do we really have the right to complain all the time. We have each other when times are bad and we are down. We have jobs, love in our lives. A roof over our heads and gas in the cars. Food in the pantry and our pets that wait for our return home each day. Love of our grandchildren, family and friends.
Clothes on our back and beautiful places to live. We are so lucky, we really are. I have lived the hard life as a child. I know what hare times are. Not to have much to eat or heat to keep you warm on a cold winter's night. No money in your hand and no one to say I love you. So believe me give thanks for what you have and let everything else go. What you worry about today , you won't remember in five years. You'll have new problems to deal with. Unless you budget and plan. Save and what you desire will come then. If not you will always be behind and chase that money game. Be happy and love your family, want to share the moments you have together.
Give thanks each and every day. Be at peace with yourself and that's the greatest gift you can give. Have a wonderful and joyful Holiday.
