Thanks Mr Pilar....
We truly have so much to be thankful for. We need these reminders on a consistant basis to keep us grounded. Far too often, people think of wealth in terms of money. We need to see wealth as having family, friends and our health.
Cheers
Steve

I know for myself that I tend to complain here and then. Someone sent this to me so I thought of passing it on. It may make us open our eyes to see that we are truly blessed beyond our means.

Thank You Freddy
Great thoughts any time of the year but especially this time of year as we give Thanks for everything that we have.
When you read a list like that, you really become humbled.
Thanks for putting it all in perspective.

Blessings & Gratitude
We are a very blessed nation and it warms my heart to know that there are many others out there that think the same way. Let us stop and enjoy the simple things in life and thank God that we live in this wonderful country with it's abundance. Let us not ponder on our regrets, for that is time wasted. Keep your eye on the goal ahead and always be thankful. Blessings & Gratitude, Bonnie
Let us give thanks with a grateful heart
Bonnie,
Thanks for you posting, especially blessing and gratitude. We receive many blessings, but the most important element is gratitude; being grateful with a thankful heart. When you look and hear what is going around the world, I just can't stop but thank God for his many blessing. I enter his gates with thanksgiving and courts with praise.
Thanks for sharing,
Freddy Pilar
A great reminder
Thank you. Sometimes we truely forget how blessed we are. This morning I read something along this line. If we are easily offended we have not grown up to a new level and that can keep us from being blessed.
