Season of Thanks

thankful ~ grateful
grateful ~ appreciative of benefits received

It's November.  In light of the upcoming Thanksgiving holiday, it's so cliche` to expound on the things for which I'm grateful ~ and I wasn't going to do it just because it's the season to do so ~ but I've been thinking and I really do have much to be thankful for.  And so, while I do express appreciation throughout the year, I will also participate in this annual ritual of giving thanks.  

I begin with a deep gratitude for life.  My life.  Living things around me.  God's creation.  Thank You, Lord, for breathing life into me, into this world.

In the beginning, God created .... (Genesis 1:1)
