Day 22: Thanksgiving

Starting Point:

Quote:
Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life.   It turns what we have into enough, and more.  It turns denial into acceptance, chaos to order, confusion to clarity.  It can turn a meal into a feast, a house into a home, a stranger into a friend.  Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today and creates a vision for tomorrow.    Melody Beattie

Bible verse:
Let us come before him with thanksgiving and extol him with music and song.   Psalm 95:2
