~ Sweet Gratitude ~**

I have a Thankful Heart


Last weekend a friend told me a
sweet story about her son,
a second grade child,
who noticed a classmate wasn't wearing
a coat, 
when asked, 
he discovered
that the little boy didn't even
own a coat.  His little heart couldn't
stand it seeing his classmate suffer
during the southern MO cold snap
so he took off his and gave him his coat.
saying, 
 "Here you can have my coat, 
I have another one at home."


As it was a new coat
the mom didn't know whether to be
angry or delighted.
She soon chose the latter.

I have so many 
"coats" 
in my closet,
and other things too.
I pray to have a thankful heart
for all the graces in my life.
One thing I can't buy is 
an open heart like
this dear young second grader.


 I pray your heart 
will be full this season 
with many good things,
and that you will be 
blessed to be a
blessing to others.


With a Grateful Heart,
