Thanksgiving Week. Believers have thanksgiving lives. Thanksgiving all day every day! It is very good to have special times set for thanksgiving and I love Thanksgiving. Hopefully it is also so much a part of our lives that Thanksgiving in November is a special part of our already ongoing thankfulness in our hearts. I challenged myself to write a lot of thanks on a small sticky note this morning - and got three lines of ten. It could be ten lines of 3oo for 3,000, or 100 lines of 300 for 30,000, or 1,000 lines of 300 for (adding zeroes) 300,000, or 10,000 lines of 300 for 3,000,000, or 100,000 lines of 300 for 30,000,000, or 1,000,000 lines of 300 for 300,000,000, or 10,000,000 lines of 300 for 3,000,000,000 (3 billion), or 30,000,000,000 lines of 300 for 3,000,000,000,000 (3 trillion), or ...
