Being Thankful on November 1

I was feeling a little grumpy because it is winter and coldish. Then I took the dog for a walk and saw the beauty of God’s Yukon winter creation with fresh eyes “and behold, it was very good.”

  thankful for rain today. I am thankful for changes in the seasons. I am thankful that in these uncertain times in America that I belong to the God of the Universe, and no matter what changes happen in our country, He is unchanging.
  
  I am also thankful that you are having a draw for such a beautiful calendar!

• Karen is yet another Californian thankful for rain: “I am thankful for the few drops of rain we had today and may have tomorrow.”

• And Suzanne starts with a whole list, too.

I’m celebrating good gifts from God during the month of November and hoping you’ll be thankful for your good gifts, too. Here’s how you can join in the thanksgiving and even, perhaps, get something material from it.

I love the picture. It makes me miss Alaska. But I'm thankful to not be fighting snow right now. Atlanta, crowed though it is, has some benefits.
