Whatever am I to do with such an overweening abundance?

When will I ever quit complaining?

Thank  you, LORD. 

May I utilize my blessings for Your glory.

May I hear your promptings to share what I have to who you would have me bless...

And the courage and selflessness to do it....

Blessings on this Thanksgiving......
