CREATIVE CLOSING
One of the joys of viewing life from a Biblical perspective is that 
we know whom to thank for the blessings in life.  Let us each take a 
moment now to remember the ways in which God has blessed us.  Let us 
think over the last year carefully.  Write down what we can be thankful 
for at this thanksgiving season.  In our time of silence count your 
blessings and smile inwardly to God.  Give thanks to God for the good 
he has done in your life.  Enjoy your God.
