Happy Thanksgiving! The beauty of the Lord is that, he gives even without being asked, helps without being seen, and stays even when we forget to say thank you. I take this day to thank you God for everything. May you also have plenty of reasons to thank God.
Thanksgiving is a time for family and friends, so why not take this opportunity to let those near and dear ones know how much you appreciate having them in your life?
