Lessons from the Thanksgiving Leftovers
Posted: November 27, 2011
A recipe for ongoing gratitute&helliup;
Thanksgiving dinner tops my list.
Leftovers are right under.
I love reheating what remains.
So is it any wonder
the Thursday meal goes on and on
as does my gratitude
for giving thanks is not a day?
It is an attitude
that sees containers as half-full
and notices what's right,
that values colors found in truth
resisting black and white.
Thanksgiving is a year-long feast.
Each day is ours to seize.
Try counting blessings from God's hand
as well as calories.
