What Are You Thankful
For?
In the midst of growing numbers of
people effected by the coronavirus…
In increasing economic concern…
The level of cabin fever is bringing
out the grumpy side of people.
The question has come up in the
midst of the Coronavirus Pandemic.
The question is a good question because
it helps us stay focused on the positive
and gets our minds off negative.
The question is…
What are you thankful for?
Pastor Chad from Calvary Church, Maumee, Ohio,
asked listeners to
the April 26th on-line
message to submit their answer to the question…
What are you thankful for?
Those hundreds of answers were
then put digitally into a collage.
The day before, my answer was “my barber”.
As my hair has not
been this long since the
60’s when in 1968 the song “Hair” was a big hit.
I feel like a Corona Hippy.
But as I thought about the Pastor’s question…
What are you thankful for?
I thought of more things than I could count.
It was like a world of happiness filled my mind.
Then one thing stood out above everything else.
It was this…
“The ability to be thankful.”
What a gift…
God has given us the
ability to be thankful.
According to Disney in Snow White

without the ability to be thankful.

enjoy anytime, even in a pandemic.
