Whatever our circumstances, there is always something to be thankful for. Take time to reflect over this past year and remember all that God has done. Above all, let's be grateful for the wonderful gift of salvation through Jesus Christ that has been given to us. We are forgiven, and we are loved. Every day -- all year long -- God's love is showered on us. And that's a lot to be thankful for!
Here's an acrostic poem I had published in The Secret Place. I hope it helps you get started.
Thank you, Father, for blessings bestowed
Harvest, health, hope and home--
Ample gifts sent from above
Needs met daily by your love.
Kindness, grace and mercy full
Showered from your heavenly throne,
Giving us abundant life--
In many ways your care is shown.
Victory in all our trials
In keeping with your Word
New beginnings, lives fulfilled
Glorious Lord, your Praise be heard.

Happy Thanksgiving!
