How Thankful Are You?



There is a pretty generic quiz to determine your thankfulness online at www.blogthings.com. It is a series of questions that you are supposed to answer with always, often, sometimes, rarely or never. I think it is a good indicator of our daily life to see if we are content. Take a look below and see where you rate in each area. Some areas will probably be better than others, but when you know where you are not doing so well you can begin to do something about it.
  1. When you think about your life, you're content. There's a lot going right.
  2. Even though your family isn't perfect, you're happy that they are your relatives.
  3. You are generally pleased with your career or school. You are about where you want to be.
  4. You feel lucky to have such great friends.
  5. As time goes on, you have started to appreciate the little things in life more.
  6. You think of how others have helped you in life and try to pay back the favor to them.
  7. Even when you have the worst day, you can think of something nice that happened.
  8. You get along with people from all walks of life.
  9. You are more likely to be thankful for what you have than obsessed with what you want.
  10. You consider yourself a lucky or blessed person.
We all have so much to be thankful for each and every day, so start your scavenger hunt for new and different things for which to give thanks.
Psalm 105:1 Give thanks to the LORD, call on his name; make known among the nations what he has done.

Roxy--Our Adopted Best Friend

Roxy was our beloved pet for 14 years. We got her for my daughter Lynn’s sixteenth birthday. Lynn had been begging for a dog and in a weak moment we agreed to her request. We decided that a pound puppy would be a good choice, so off to PetsMart we went, since they brought in a selection of puppies for adoption each weekend. Upon surveying the motley crew of dogs and cats, Lynn and I spotted a couple of cute white dogs with black and brown spots—a brother and sister pair, but we weren’t quite sure if one of them might be “the right one.” So back to the car for the next stop, and off to the humane society we went. Anytime you go to a place like that you hurt for the sad little animals just peering through the cages, longing to be grabbed up into your arms to be loved and cared for and you wish that you could take them all home. After checking out the big dogs, the small dogs, the old and the young, the hairy and even scary dogs, it was determined that none of those was meant to go home...

It is so easy and good. 1 stick of butter or margarine 2 packages of 10 count flaky biscuits 1 can pie filing (any flavor) Topping: 6 T flour 4 T cold margarine 1/2 c sugar Separate the biscuits in half, according to the flaky layers. Dip each piece in melted butter and place on a cookie sheet. Make an indentation in the middle of each using your thumb. Put about 1 tablespoon of pie filling into the indented space. Make the topping by cutting the flour and sugar into the cold butter. Sprinkle topping over pastries. Cook at 375 degrees about 15 minutes or until good and brown. If you don't have pie filling, you can use jam. www.hearthope.org
