We Get Far More...

"In ordinary life we hardly realize that we receive far more than we give, and that it is only with gratitude that life becomes rich."~Dietrich Bonhoeffer

We do get so much more than we give...Especially as Americans, we have been blessed. The problem is that other than at Thanksgiving, we are not grateful as we should be.

Thanksgiving should be a daily process, not just one day on the calendar. Imagine what our country would look like if they were thankful for what we had as opposed to ungrateful because of what we don't have. Our society says that to be happy, you have to have the next wiz-bang technology, or the latest car, or the biggest house on the block.

Lose that thinking.

I'm grateful and thankful for everything that I have, especially friends, new and old, who make a difference in my life. You make a difference in my life and I thank you for it.

Play or watch football, eat until your stuffed but remember to be thankful for everything.

"In ordinary life we hardly realize that we receive far more than we give, and that it is only with gratitude that life becomes rich."
