A Thankful Heart

As Thanksgiving approaches, our hearts are filled with gratitude. However, this sense of thankfulness should be an important part of our daily lives -- not just reserved for Thanksgiving.

As my mentor Zig Ziglar used to say: We should all have an 'attitude of gratitude.'

Thanksgiving is a condition of the heart and the more thankful you are about the things in your lives, the more things you have been thankful for!

I'm so thankful for two of my greatest treasures —my wife and precious daughter.

 In their love, I am truly blessed!

First and foremost, thanks Karen, the woman who stands by my side, my partner in this incredible journey called marriage. Karen, you are the embodiment of love, strength, and unwavering support, and one of the most giving people I have ever known! I really don't know how you manage to take care of everything in our lives and in our business! Your love has been a guiding light and an anchor through life's trials and storms.

And to my precious daughter, Karlie, the apple of my eye. In your laughter, I hear hope; in your eyes, I see the promise of a brighter tomorrow. I thank God for the privilege of watching you grow in your Christian walk, for the lessons you teach me about love , and for the joy you bring into our lives. I often have trouble expressing how proud I am of you.

And to you, my blog followers: Every week, I am reminded of the joy that comes from sharing that adventure in my blog, with amazing friends like you. Your kindness, enthusiasm, and encouragement have become the fuel that propels me forward, and for that, I am profoundly thankful to call you my friends.

It isn't what you have in your pocket that makes you thankful -- but what you have in your heart.

The secret of having it all is knowing -- YOU ALREADY DO!

Father give me the wisdom to know that Thankfulness is not just an action, but a lifestyle. The peace You put in my heart and mind is much more valuable than all the physical blessings You provide on a daily basis.

Thanksgiving should not simply be a day -- but a way of life!

Happy Thanksgiving!
