….*For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, is working for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory.*[ 2 Corinthians 4:17]
If you woke up this morning with more health than illness, you are more blessed than the million who won’t survive the week.
If you have never experienced the danger of battle, the loneliness of imprisonment, the agony of torture, or the pangs of starvation, you are ahead of 20 million people around the world.
If you have food in your refrigerator, clothes on your back, a roof over your head, and a place to sleep, you are richer than 75 % of this world.
If you have money in the bank, in your wallet, and spare change in a dish someplace, you are among the top 8 % of the world’s wealthy.
There is so much to give thanks for. Have you given thanks today?

s Yes, I did !! I’m thankful for my family , cuz I was able to find a few moments to write today, that it would be to write an entryful of :…I’m thankful for a, for b,… a laundry list of gratitude , special to my lovely italyan neighbor lady Madeleine ( I let you know, tomorrow )
I don’t have a vast, exhaustive list of things I’m thankful for. It’s much simpler, and so much bigger, than any list could cover.
There, in the dark, I was thankful for this quiet moment.
I’m thankful for today, for the here and now,
and I’m thankful for all the little moments that make up my todays.I’m blessed !
Happy Thanksgiving all !!
*Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.*[ 1 Corinthians 13:4-8]
