Hello, and a great Thankful Thursday morning to you all.  Now, repeat after me: “For each new morning with its light,For rest and shelter of the night,For health and food, for love and friends,For everything Thy goodness sends.” There, feeling grateful yet?…Good.  I am.

We must work on being better.  Here’s how to kick-start that: “If you begin the day with love in your heart, peace in your nerves, and truth in your mind, you not only benefit by their presence but also bring them to others, to your family and friends, and to all those whose destiny draws…

And so the story goes… There was a young woman who had been diagnosed with a terminal illness and had been given three months to live. So as she was getting her things in order, she contacted her pastor and had him come to her house to discuss certain aspects of her final wishes. She…
