We all have much to be thankful for.....family, friends, health, or at least working on getting healthy. A God who is there and who cares. One of my favorite verses is Lamentations 3:22-23 The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases; his mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning, great is your faithfulness. We have had to lean on these words several times in the last three years. God's mercies are new every morning and He is always there.
After Pam's cancer battle in 2007 she hung a piece of artwork that says 'Everyday is a Gift'. And it is hung where we see it everyday and it's a reminder to be thankful for simple gifts.
A grateful heart can change your outlook. My wife has a positive attitude 99% of the time and it's contagious. She can find something to be thankful for in almost every situation. Even though she has had to take care of me, her mom and all the work around the house for the better part of the last two years she still has a thankful heart. She is a wonderful example of what Thanksgiving should be about. But it shouldn't be just one day out of 365. We should learn to live everyday with a grateful heart.
We encourage you to be thankful for the simple gifts.
God is good all the time!!

Very well said, Jim. (I'm Kim T.'s online friend). Have been following your story for awhile now. I trust all you're going through will bring remission and healing.
