Giving Thanks Somebody once said that unexpressed gratitude is like winking at somebody in the dark .You know what it is all about , but the person who need to say thanks does not . we need to say thanks just as we should be ready to graciously accept anothers thanks, Growing up in Jamaica , one of the most popular phrases I heard as a child was thanks be to God . whether it was a successful crops , a new baby in the familys , a safe journey home , a summer shower , there was always something for which to be thankful for ,Some ancient Celtic poet expressed this sentiment , Thanks be to God for the rain and sunshine , thanks God for the hail and snow ,thanks be to God when my pockets are empty ,thanks be to God when again they overflow !Gratitude usually is more predominate in people with a sense of humor , there are some people who complain that God puts thorn among the roses ,but there are others who rejoice that he puts roses among the thorns , so it all depends on the way you look at things .if there is joy in your heart-which there will be , if you have a sense of humor-then there will be gratitude as well.if God has a dwelling place apart from heaven,surely it is in a thankful heart ,As we about to celebrate thanksgiving day ,I would like to say a heartfelt thank you to my friends and familys ,And last but not least ,I thank God for all of you , may the good lord bless each one of you and your familys on this thanksgiving day and may the spirit of giving and Sharing that first made this day possible ever remain alive in our midst , have a blessed thanksgiving .
