    An Attitude of Gratitude: Second Chances…And Third…And Fourth

    In years past, I have been committed to using the month of November as a time to express thanks.  The very first year of the blog I extended an invitation to friends and family members to write about things that they were thankful for.  And last year Bible Study Brother took over and gave written roses to people who had made a difference in his life.  Writing took a major back seat in my life this year, but the good Lord pulled especially hard on my heart today.  The theme for this year’s November blogs will be “An Attitude of Gratitude.”  In the midst of the MOST challenging year of…

This song came to my mind as I was thinking about what to write for Bible Study Girl’s blog on giving roses.

This has been a year filled with grief, anxiety, loss after loss but through it all a year to focus on gratitude. Most of us would never know or appreciate sunshine if not for rain; joy if not for sadness and pain; or happiness if…
