Today's generous Devotional, submitted by our friend Lynn, is another one of a collection she sent me to be used for Thanksgiving. 🦃 It touches my heart to know you think and are mindful of us, your "Jersey Family"! 😊 The honesty of both your thought and the poem also touched me deeply! Thanks so much, Lynn! 🥰
"For everything God created is good, and nothing is to be rejected if it is received with Thanksgiving, because it is consecrated by the word of God and prayer."
1 Timothy 4:4-5
When you are fighting stage IV cancer, you learn to be grateful for mosquito bites, because it means blood is still pumping through your veins! I have some advice for all of my friends: Don't wait until you're fighting for your life, or even until you're sick with the flu, to thank God for EVERYTHING He grants us day by day. Learn to be grateful for everything! Now! And not just on Thanksgiving!
I dare each one of y'all to start thinkin this way the minute you finish reading this poem. When you think "Gratitude" in every single thing you go through, it'll train you to see the potential lemonade in every batch of lemons life throws at you!🍋
Happy Thanksgiving, my Jersey Family! Wishing y'all many blessings! 😘
Beautiful
