Giving Thanks

Today I thought I would share some quotes with you from my vast collection. As Thanksgiving is next week I thought that these quotes would be so appropriate. I am so thankful for all He has done for me and all that He will do. Thanksgiving is an extra special day for me as last year on this day I was given my biopsy results following major surgery and everything was found to be normal despite the tests indicating otherwise. I am praising Him and thanking Him each and every day!

I will be going to Georgia on Monday to spend Thanksgiving with my sister and her family so will be away for 9 days. I will try to check my blog and visit while I am away.

  7. Hi Linda...caught up with you here now. What lovely posts! The two on Thankfulness really touched my heart. We so often lose sight of our blessings when things in life aren't to our liking. But you are so right - PRAISE HIM in & out of difficulties...in every single situation PRAISE HIM!

    I am hoping you & I can talk lots via the phone while you are at Teresa's. I do know this, I cannot wait until you come visit me again! Love you Linda...have fun (I know you will).
