Be thankful!

Today is warm and sunny and almost the end of the year 2010! Christmas is always over before you have time to really contemplate its true meaning. My 2 year old grandson that lives in Alaska got up really early Christmas morning and went into his parents bedroom. He shook his daddy awake and said "Baby Jesus"! He knew it was the day to open his presents and he also knew the true meaning of Christmas! We have a saying "Out of the mouth of babes" and it is so true. How many of us adults got up Christmas morning and thought: "Today is the day baby Jesus was born" Hopefully alot of us! Anyway, I am very thankful for all the blessings God gave me and my family this past year and also for a wonderful, blessed Christmas. The following is a message from chapter two in my book "Living Waters:Writings from the Heart of a Christian" It is titled - Be Thankful

"Put aside all hurts of the past. Do not dwell on them, but be thankful for them, for they have helped you to become the loving, caring person you are today. Be thankful in all things. Forgive as your Heavenly Father has forgiven you."
