November 14, 2024 3:51pm CST
As we approach Thanksgiving in the U.S., let’s take the next two weeks to focus on gratitude together. No matter where we're from or what holidays we celebrate, we all have something to be thankful for. This series is about finding joy in the little things, connecting through shared positivity, and lifting each other up with daily gratitude. So let’s start today — what are you thankful for? I'll start... Today, I’m thankful for friends, even fair-weather and frenemy friends. Sometimes, it’s the small interactions that can make all the difference. As difficult or complicated as these friendships may be, they still add value to our lives and help shape who we are! P.S. As you can tell by the words on the box, the image is AI generated. I did not ask for words.

It's good to be surrounded by friends. I hope to see a few of my friends before the year ends. I am thankful that my daughter is finally recovering from pneumonia and everyone in my family has recovered from the flu. I've been praying a lot and asking for the intercession of Mary and of some saints. I'm so glad the worst is over.

Amen to that. It is always good to be surrounded by friends. I also hope you get to see the friends you speak of before the year is out. I am so glad your family's health has been restored. Praise God for that!

True friends are rare. If we have them, we should earnestly thank God for them. I have two that I know I can always count on. They are like my sisters. I am, daily, thankful for them.
