How to Become a Woman of ThanksgivingWritten by Patrice Fagnant-MacArthur
Continued from page 1
of thanksgiving? Begin by looking around. Thank God for another day of life, nature that surrounds us. Do you have a roof over your head, food on table? Thank God for those. Are your children screaming through house? Stop and thank God that they are healthy enough to run and play, and yes, even fight with each other! Any time when you feel a complaint bubbling to surface, take a moment to breathe and survey situation. Is there any silver lining hiding below surface that could possibly be a reason for thanks? If so, thank God for that. When petitioning God for a need, always add a prayer of thanksgiving for answer, whether it is answer desired or not. Like any habit, with practice, becoming a woman of thanksgiving should become easier.

Above all, choose a style that is comfortable. You'll get more use from a sandal that feels good than from one that you can barely wear without a supply of Band-Aids for blisters. If you are one of those women who wear one favorite pair of shoes all season long, spend a bit more to buy a sandal you really love in a color you will be able to use with most of your summer wardrobe. If on other hand you love to match your sandals to your outfits, choose several colors to compliment those shorts, tanks and sundresses and you'll be set with cool, stylin’ feet
