Giving Thanks


It's that time of year again when you are compelled to look back over the past year, or even perhaps your entire life, and give thanks. It matters not what you are giving thanks for. It matters most that you feel compelled. That's the key. I think a lot about the folks in Paradise, California who have lost not only their homes, but their businesses, and their neighbors, and their sense of community. I think a lot about the folks in Mexico Beach, Florida, who dare I repeat it, lost not only their homes, but their businesses, and their neighbors, and their sense of community. Devastation can come in many forms. From battles and wars, and wind and tornadoes, and water and hurricanes. No matter how, it is still devastation. I pray for all of you, and all of the people who are struggling to build your life or rebuild your life for whatever reason. If it's drugs or illness or poverty or abuse. You deserve a better world. I pray you find it. THANKS!

  1. A seat, to sit and ponder, to be thankful, and to give your thoughts and car to those who have lost so much. We see coverage of Ca fires, and wonder who could rebuild their life, home, business, or friendships. Maybe some love from afar will help them know they are not alone in their grief.

    1. Thank you Jean. So good to hear from you. Hope all is well with you. I wonder every day how these people are going to put it all back together but I know we are all resilient in many ways we don't realize. Carol
