gestures of gratitude & thanksgiving

Thanksgiving night I spent 4 hours going through almost 15 years of photos. I think I overdosed on memories, but what a great way to close out my Thanksgiving day! God has blessed me with a life full of dear family and friends. So many sweet memories of good times and life together. I have so much to be thankful for! As I embark on these next steps on the road with "eager feet," it is also sad to wrap-up this current chapter.

"Gratitude as recognition, receptivity, and response is a basic attitude and action of the Christian life. We not only recognize and are aware of God's gifts to us, but also continually find ways of saying thanks to God in worship, prayer, and 'whatever we say or do.' Our aim is to live our whole life as a sacred gesture of thanksgiving, a deep bow of gratitude, solidifying our relationship with God." ~ Sacred Space, Don Postema

God is so good! May the gestures and posture of gratitude remain throughout the year!
