Happy Thanksgiving ~ Gratitude Always

Magof Ha’ånen Mannå’i Grasia ~ Happy Thanksgiving to one and all! It’s important to remember that Thanksgiving is more than a single day—it’s a way of living that celebrates kindness, compassion, and love in every moment. This Thanksgiving, I want to thank my dear family and friends for the warmth, laughter, and support you bring into my life. May your hearts be filled with peace, your homes with joy, and your days with the gentle reminder that gratitude truly is life’s purest art. Happy Thanksgiving, Si Yu’os Ma’åse for being there, and blessings to you all. Enjoy the following poem I’ve written, inspired by the beauty of simple acts that lift others and the light that gratitude brings into our lives. God bless. 🥰🙏🦃 

Gratitude Always

Being grateful is the time for all,
A gentle whisper, a heartfelt call.
Here and abroad, both near and far,
Gratitude shines where kind hearts are.

It lives in moments small and sweet,
In every smile of those we meet.
A word of comfort, a helping hand,
Can lift a soul, help one to stand.

Keeping the gratitude in all we do,
In every word, in every view.
Through giving hands and caring hearts,
True compassion softly starts.

When storms may come and shadows fall,
Gratitude reminds us to stand tall.
For even in trials, lessons bloom,
And hope can chase away the gloom.

In different ways, our love is shown,
Through simple acts, our spirits grown.
A door held open, a listening ear,
Can make another’s burden clear.

Memories linger, warm and bright,
Kindness turns darkness into light.
Each act of love, though small it seems,
Can ripple out beyond our dreams.

Not just today, but every day,
Let thankfulness guide our way.
For gratitude is life’s pure art,
A melody that fills the heart.

So share your light in all you do,
Let joy and peace flow out from you.
For every soul, both old and new—
God bless the world, and God bless you.
