Giving Thanks

How wonderful it is to give thanks.
It really is life-altering.
Have you begun?
You will not regret it.

"Giving thanks always for all things
unto God and the Father in the name of
our Lord Jesus Christ."

~ Ephesians 5:20 ~

Continuing to number the ways ~
The joys.
The everyday.
The extraordinary.
