Pure and simply, you’re a Thanksgiving blessing …

*Thank you* ((((Billy.)))))

Hope you had a good one.

(Sorry I haven’t been by in a while. I think of you often; you’re in my prayer journal. I pray — with confidence — that God continues to use you. And He doesn’t disappoint.)

Wealth and material possessions do not equal happiness. Praising God and being thankful for all things brings more joy than the expensive house and trappings of wealth. They too easily become idols. It sounds like you certainly learned an important lesson earlier in your life that stuck with you. Thanks for sharing with us.

Instead of always looking to what we don’t have, be grateful for the best gift of all; Jesus. As we abide in Him, He gives us all we need. And He works in us and through us to impact others. Our part is to surrender it ALL and lay down ALL the things. After all, it all belongs to Him anyway. And if He provides materially, we can use it for His glory.

Have a wonderful Thanksgiving. I’ve never visited before but have seen many of my blogging buddies link to you so I thought I’d check you out. I’m glad that I did. I’ll be back.

Blessings,
Debbie

Happy Thanksgiving.
I hope the girl’s family eventually worked things out.

Absolutely nothing can replace the bond of a family where love abides… and where God is central…love it.

It’s sad when having so much amounts to having so little. I hope that family has managed to find some peace by this Thanksgiving…and I’m wishing peace to you and yours, Billy. Thanks for a wonderful reminder of all that we do have this Thanksgiving.

Happy Thanksgiving, Billy! This was beautifully written and a resonating lesson for you (and now for all of us). I am thankful for what God has provided…
