Look around right now;
See all that you possess,
All that is yours.
Now remind yourself
That it all belongs to God;
It is in your hands
For just a moment.
Live your life today
Grateful
For the abundance
Of grace that is yours
To give away.

# 30 of 30 things I'm thankful for in November
Generosity
Being generous to others really does give one a good feeling. Sharing what I have with others is a part of who I am.
I love to give gifts and with the size of my family, there are plenty of reasons to give them. Birthdays, anniversaries, new babies, and Christmas are just a few. Besides that I give a lot of my time. Time to see them, time to babysit for them, time to pray for them, and time to rejoice with them.
Some of the best advice I ever received was to: Drink deeply from good books, especially the Bible. Make each day your masterpiece. Pray for guidance, and give thanks for your blessings every day.
Today ends my 30 days of THANKFULNESS. Coming in December, I'll be preparing for Christmas and for me there is no better way to do that than to celebrate the Advent Season. It's a season of HOPE, JOY, LOVE, and PEACE.
You learn about gratitude by giving. You learn about humility by receiving, and in the pecking order of human qualities, I'd probably put humility somewhere before gratitude.
