WHAT DO YOU THINK IS THE BEST WORD IN YOUR VOCABULARY?

Call this another primer for Thanksgiving time.

Rudyard Kipling, author of “The Jungle Book” and many other famous books and poems was at one time so popular he was receiving the equivalent of $10 per word. A group of college students who thought this somewhat extreme sent him a ridiculing letter with ten dollars enclosed. A note folded inside the ten dollars read, “Please send us your best word.” Kipling then proved he truly knew the true worth of words. He simply sent back a note that read, “Thanks.”

A man found himself lost in a hot and barren desert. He sustained himself with the thanksgiving, “Wow, what a beach.”

A spirit of thanksgiving is more than a silver lining for a cloud. Ever looked up and seen a cloud glow from the sun so powerful behind it that the whole cloud was aglow?

That is what a spirit of thanksgiving does to our lives, our dreams, our inner selves. So, get a glow on – don’t growl or grumble. There are enough grouches in the world. Don’t add yourself to the list.

A spirit of thanksgiving is a rose that rises above any thorns you may incur.

Serve the Lord with gladness:
come before His presence with singing.
Know ye that the Lord He is God:
It is He that hat made us, and not we ourselves;
we are His people, and the sheep of His pasture.
Enter into His gates with thanksgiving, and into His courts with praise;
be thankful unto Him, and bless His name.
For the Lord is good;
His mercy is everlasting;
and his truth endures to all generations. (Psalm 100)
