It is Thanksgiving Day, a day many of us still hold precious and sacred for giving thanks and gathering with loved ones while some devote their gratitude for serving others this special day. Focusing on gratitude this year has brought to light gifts and blessings that otherwise might have remained hidden.

Where we live wild turkeys periodically wander in our meadow. To observe these birds and occasionally watch them fly is a gift.

It is with a grateful heart that my husband and I watched the dawning of this day. The sunrise was gorgeous with clouds painted in peach and rose. Anytime I see a sunrise I thank God for this beautiful painting of first light. I am grateful to God for all the gifts and blessings that I see and sincerely hope to be made aware of those I have yet to see.

“Cultivate the habit of being grateful for every good thing that comes to you, and to give thanks continuously. And because all things have contributed to your advancement, you should include all things in your gratitude.” ― Ralph Waldo Emerson

Peace.
