This year could we change our Thanksgiving thoughts to Thanksliving?…
Take time for prayer and Bible study.
Have a positive attitude.
Act in ways God would approve.
Number your blessings.
Keep His commandments.
Seek the Lord’s will for your life.
Love others as yourself.
Instill a calm spirit within.
Visit the sick or lonely.
Invite others to know the Lord.
Never give in to temptation.
Grow a bit each day in your walk.
