AS WE SHARED THANKSGIVING DINNER with family and friends this past weekend, did we pause to express gratitude and ask each other, “What are you grateful for today?” Which people in my life am I grateful for, and have I told them why? What happened to me today that was good, and what am I taking for granted? What was the last book I read or movie I really appreciated, and why? What is something kind someone has said or done lately? Expressing gratitude or writing a thank-you note helps us dwell on something positive for a longer period. “Rejoice in the Lord always: and again I say, Rejoice.” — Philippians 4:4 (KJV) ~ Your Health Ministry Team
