I thought I’d take this last 12 days before Thanksgiving to share the “Thankfulness Train” by sharing Day 17 and each day until Thanksgiving.  I hope this will help us focus on “Gratitude”  To be humbly grateful instead of grumbly hateful…  It’s a choice.

The Thankfulness Train Day 17. I am thankful for “memory”!! Although there are things I don’t or can’t remember as I age, I am grateful to God for the gift of “memory”. The ability to recall things of the past –good and bad. I can laugh through them again, and sometimes cry over them again, but what a privilege to be able to remember the things that I have shared, learned, been taught and been blessed by in the past. And I’m also grateful for those with whom we can share our memories. Sometimes it’s painful to revisit the past but I believe it is always beneficial to reexamine the things that we have walked through. When I look back I always see the hand of God either leading, warning, correcting, calling, protecting or just loving me. I Thank God today for yesterday–it’s made me who I am today.
