Absolutely JoJo!
Ditto to all.
Take a minute today to reflect on what you are truly thankful for - The Good and the bad.
A man who unfortunately I have lost contact with over the years, David Johnson from the PNW, once told me to "enjoy and accept the good with the bad as that is life."
The Letter of James, is a great five page read in the bible. The below C&P reflects what my good friend Dave was getting at.
"
1:2 Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters,[a] whenever you face trials of many kinds, 3 because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance. 4 Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything. 5 If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you. 6 But when you ask, you must believe and not doubt, because the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind. 7 That person should not expect to receive anything from the Lord. 8 Such a person is double-minded and unstable in all they do.
9 Believers in humble circumstances ought to take pride in their high position. 10 But the rich should take pride in their humiliation—since they will pass away like a wild flower. 11 For the sun rises with scorching heat and withers the plant; its blossom falls and its beauty is destroyed. In the same way, the rich will fade away even while they go about their business."
Happy Thanksgiving!
