April 30th, 2020 — 3:00 P.M. Update
It is difficult to believe that today is the last day of April. Each Thursday will be Thankful Thursday. We are thankful for our entire Christian Living Services team, and we appreciate everything that everyone brings to our organization and to our residents and clients we serve. It takes each of us to make this a great organization. An inspiration quote states, “The words thank you are the most powerful words that we can express to another person.” So – thank you!
Here is another way to think of thankfulness.
Thankfulness is the beginning of gratitude. Gratitude is the completion of thankfulness. Thankfulness may consist merely of words. Gratitude is shown in acts.
