Hello ,
Alex Haley, the author of "Roots," had an unusual picture hanging on his office wall. It was a picture of a turtle on top of a fence post. When asked, "Why is that there?" Alex Haley answered, "Every time I write something significant, every time I read my words & think that they are wonderful, & begin to
feel proud of myself, I look at the turtle on top of the fence post & remember that he didn't get there on his own. He had help."
That is the basis of thankfulness - to remember that we got here with the help of God, & that He is the provider of every blessing we have. All of us are "spiritual post turtles" and without God's intervention we're helpless.
It's something to be thankful for!
Have a great day and God bless!
