Thankful November - T

Today, I am Thankful for TIME.

I am thankful for the time that I have been given.

Each day that we are blessed enough to wake up, we have the choice to make the most of that time. We can choose to make a difference in the world or we can choose to just idly get by each day.

Each day we can choose the words that come out of our mouth - we can make them positive or negative. We can choose to have uplifting conversations or we can choose to put others down with our words. We can choose to listen to our heart when we see that Mom struggling with her kids in the store or we can choose to look the other way and walk away. We can choose to treat others how we would want to be treated or we can choose to live as if *our* lives have a different standard than the rest of the world. We can choose to be role models for our children or we can teach them do as I say and don’t do as I do. We can choose to be generous or we can choose to be greedy. We can choose to walk by the bell ringers this holiday season, we can choose to walk by the giving trees, we can choose to walk by the food pantry donation boxes, or we can choose to put ourselves in the position of those who need those services.


Today, the Lord has blessed all of us with another day on this Earth. I hope we are all able to make the most of our TIME and in the infamous words of Tim McGraw “Live Like You Were Dying”.
