My church shared this video at our Thanksgiving Eve service last night.
I wanted to share it with you too.
Thankfulness...it is powerful.
Thankfulness...it is powerful.
As I have been thinking about what it looks like to live out thankfulness in my own life, I went back through this video and wrote down all the things that define thankfulness.

THANKFULNESS IS THE...
DEFENSE AGAINST MATERIALISM
ENEMY OF ENTITLEMENT
CURE FOR SELF PITY
THANKFULNESS...

No matter what our life experiences are, no matter what challenges we are asked to endure, no matter what heartache or joy we have to pass through, I believe we all have so much to be thankful for. I am thankful for strong faithful loving women such as yourself who show us all how to go through hard things and still Love the Lord. Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours. Mary from SLC Utah
Wow, thank you for sharing this! It really resonates with me and I can't wait to really think about each one of these points. I copied and pasted it and printed out two copies. One for me to hang prominently and one to share today for Thanksgiving!
It is a powerful message for me, even if I have to edit out God. Thank you for sharing your spirit of thankfulness every day!
these defining statements are so profound and thank you for sharing these with us. I will save this and keep a copy for a long time.
Blessings to you and your family.
Seriously?! Your boys are too stinking cute! Isn't it A*MAZ*ING how you imagine something....and the Lord blesses you with something FAR greater than you could even imagine?! He knows!! Prayers to your precious family!
LOVE & HUGS!
