A DIY placemat seen on Hither Thither

I read someone's post on facebook the other day basically asking others to temper their joy during these times in consideration of others who are going through a hard time. I took pause with that because yeah, I get it, but at the same time there seems to be something fundamentally wrong with approaching it that way.

Devos said this today:

A thankful attitude opens windows of heaven. Moreover as you look up with a grateful heart, you get glimpses of Glory through those windows. You cannot yet live in heaven but you can experience foretastes of your ultimate home. A thankful mindset does not entail denial of reality with its plethora of problems. Instead, it rejoices in Me, your Savior, in the midst of trials and tribulations. I am your refuge and strength, an ever present and well proved help in trouble. 

May you have a wonderful Thanksgiving, filled with thanks and hope, as we look upward to the Father.
