Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his
courts with praise: be thankful unto him, and bless his name. Psalms 100:4
During this difficult year, I have chosen to focus on love,
joy, thankfulness and gratefulness. It
has not always been easy to keep my focus there, but the Lord continues to give
me the courage and the strength to do so.
2020 has given me the opportunity to be closer to my Lord
and savior, my church family, my friends, my children, and my grandchildren. I
have learned that being thankful is not the end but only the beginning. It is
from deep within the heart that gratitude shows itself through love, devotion,
and commitment towards those who mean the most in your life.
