A Note from Julie: An Attitude of Gratitude

An attitude of gratitude allows us to live abundantly. Gratitude unlocks our ability to live like to its fullest each day. It turns what we have into enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos into order, and confusion into clarity. It can turn a meal into a feast, a house into a home, a stranger into a friend. A spirit of gratitude helps us make sense of our past, it brings us peace for today, and creates a sense of hope for tomorrow.

This year, may you live with an attitude of gratitude on the other 364 days as much as you do on the one day set aside to give thanks.

Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours!

A Thanksgiving Prayer for You

My prayer for you is that this life becomes all you want it to,

Your dreams stay big, your worries stay small,

You never need to carry more than you can hold,

And while you’re out there getting where you’re getting to,

I hope you know somebody loves you, and wants the same things too.

If you’re faced with a choice, and you have to choose,

I hope you choose the one that means the most to you.

If one door opens to another door closed,

I hope you keep on walking till you find the window.

If it’s cold outside, show the world the warmth of your smile,

I hope you always forgive, and you never regret,

And you help somebody every chance you get,

You find GOD’S GRACE in every mistake,

And you always GIVE more than you take.
