Happy Thanksgiving to you! I hope your day is filled with good food and grateful hearts.Thanks for taking a moment to read this brief note.
Today I’m thankful for you. It means a great deal to me that you open and read the emails I send. I’m encouraged to think you make Muslim Connect, and actually connecting with Muslims, a part of your life. Grazie mille!
Secondly, I’m thankful for my family; for hugs and hope, for giggles and growth.
Finally, I’m grateful to God for redeeming me, forgiving me and inviting me (and you!) to partner with Him to bring the love and blessing of a good God to bear on all the families of the earth.
That’s it. I’m done. Thank you. Thank you, God.

Gratitude rocks. It’s like a drug with no side effects. It gives you all the benefits of exercise without the stress, strain and pain! It’s the cheapest, quickest way to amp up your happiness.
A habit of gratitude facilitates obedience to the Bible. (Which makes us Christians happy!)
Legit research studies show it provides measurable benefits in all areas of life.
If you’re a visual learner, here’s the simple schematic.
Wanna practice?
- Tell God thanks that you’re alive and when you are no longer, you’ll have leveled up.
- Send me a note with the top five things you’re thankful for.
- Give a legit thank you to someone today who’s just a little hard to thank. (That person who just came to mind? Yep, that’s the one!)
