Happy Tuesday to you and yours! A great day ahead, the month winding down, as well as the rain here in western PA. But rain does a lot for us. Here is an interesting fact did you know that rain contains vitamin B12? It does, however rainwater contains pollutants, soil, plant parts, insect parts, bacteria, algae, and sometimes radioactive materials the rain/snow has washed out of the air." So maybe you should filter and boil first, just maybe.
Rain also has a very soothing sound on that porch roof and can be quite refreshing on a late summer evening walk. Rain it does a body good.
Today being Tuesday and all it is the day I set aside to give thanks.
Why is giving thanks so important lets look at some quotes and then my view point.
“Develop an attitude of gratitude, and give thanks for everything that happens to you, knowing that every step forward is a step toward achieving something bigger and better than your current situation.”
~Brian Tracy

“We ought to give thanks for all fortune: it is is good, because it is good, if bad, because it works in us patience, humility and the contempt of this world and the hope of our eternal country”
~ C.S. Lewis

Psalms 136:1 O give thanks unto the LORD, for He is good,
for His mercy endureth for ever. (KJV)
We all have the God given gift to give thanks, to take a few moments, at any time during our day and just give thanks. To nature, to God, to all those around us that make a difference each day.
I give thanks many times, it works for me, it keeps me humble and aware that it can always be much worse, no matter how it is right now. Giving thanks for those who make me smile, make me laugh and give me a sense of pride just to know that I am loved by them.
Good times.
Good feelings.
Good anticipation for the future.
All from routinely giving thanks. Not a bad practice at all and simply put its very simple.
Take a moment, right now to look around, all your stuff that you have accumulated in life.
Some necessary, some not, some important some trivial.
Look at all that you hold within your spirit. Things like love, kindness, that smile, joy, laughter and above all the knowledge that there is God who we can always go to and give thanks and praise.
Sending you smiles and giving all of you my thanks and appreciation for your comments and love. Smiles to you all this Tuesday!
