Reasons to Say "THANKS"


In a world that has more needs than answers, there are still some opportunities to pause and say “Thanks”.

Say “Thanks”
For the companion who walks beside you
For the memory of the companion who once walked beside you
For kids and grandkids and the uniqueness of each

Say “Thanks”
For whatever measure of food you have to eat
For whatever measure of clothing that is covering your back
For heat in public buildings and homes

Say “Thanks”
For your source of income and whoever supplies that income
For those who serve those in need
For medical professionals

Say “Thanks”
For law enforcement professionals
For military units and their fearless response
For government official who have a thankless job

Say “Thanks”
For the friendly hands that have benefited you throughout your life
For that special neighbor who never refused your call for help
For the reliability of water that comes through the plumbing

Say “Thanks”
For a supportive co-worker who never fails to help
For those bosses who graced your life at odd moments
For bosses who gave you constructive guidance

Say “Thanks”
To the driver who allowed you to enter the freeway lane
To the server who brings your morning coffee
To the cook who makes your eggs to perfection

Say “Thanks”
For our siblings
For extended family members: aunts, uncles, cousins, and grandparents

Say “Thanks”
For your minister and spiritual leaders
For writers who enlighten your life
For song writers who bring joy to your day

Say “Thanks”
To radio and TV personalities who give consistent information
To retail clerks who work on holidays so you can buy their wares
To the stranger headed your way later today

Say “Thanks”
To God above for mercy
To God above for grace that continually flows down

In all things, give God Praise and Thanksgiving.


Happy Thanksgiving!
