Give and take

There's a lot of negative things to be said about give and take, especially when it comes to a lot of our political representatives. It seems that they are elected by promising to give something in return for what they got, and that isn't always a good thing.

There's also the good give and take. Any relationship requires some amount of give and take. Sometimes, you have to be the stronger one and give more in a relationship because, eventually, you are going to be the weak one and need to take. That is a good give and take.

Still thinking about Thanksgiving, today's word is a quote I came across that says, "Life is full of give and take. Give thanks and take nothing for granted."

It's important that we give thanks for the many blessings we have been given. If I started naming them one by one, it would take to the end of my life and I would still miss some and not finish the list. We have all been blessed far more than we often give credit or thought to. I know I have. So, give GOD thanks for all that He has given you - every good and perfect gift.

Then, take nothing for granted. We never know when things are going to go bad in the cruel and evil world. Yet, we can be thankful that when it does, GOD is by our side, guiding us through the storm. Let's give thanks and take nothing for granted.

Be Blessed,
