First Steps – November 22, 2021

Normally I write the Monday devotionalā€”First Steps. This week I want you to write your own. It is Thanksgiving Week, one of my favorite holidays. Make a list of the things you are most thankful for (List at least 5).

1.

2.

3.

4.

5.

Now, take the next step – express your gratitude to God or to others. Then watch the gratitude spread.

Happy Thanksgiving,
