Thanks

On this beautiful, frosty Thanksgiving morning here in Central OH-IO, I wanted to pause and offer a simple “thank you” to our friends, families, and clients for your support this year. Being a “Rookie-Builder-Apprentice,” I want you to know how thankful I am, and we are, for you.

And to my fellow Builders at BUILT TO LEAD, thank you so much. I have learned an incredible amount, made real changes in my approach to life, and hold so much hope for a deeply fulfilling future together with you all.

For everyone who has the opportunity to say grace at table today, and who may benefit from some inspiration, I offer you the following:

O God, when I have food, 
help me to remember the hungry; 
When I have work, 
help me to remember the jobless; 
When I have a home, 
help me to remember those who have no home at all; 
When I am without pain, 
help me to remember those who suffer, 
And remembering, 
help me to destroy my complacency; 
bestir my compassion, 
and be concerned enough to help; 
By word and deed, 
those who cry out for what we take for granted. 
Samuel F. Pugh

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

  1. Happy Thanksgiving to you!

    It is good to have one day in a year designated for the expression of gratefulness. We do not have one here in Malaysia. But I am always in the mood for gratefulness. Hope you don’t mind me joining in. Your president, Abraham Lincoln is so wise!

    The world would be less chaotic, it would be a more peaceful place if each one of us has the awareness in him that there are plenty for which he should be thankful for.

    Gratefulness gives us contentment and peace of mind. These two qualities help reduce our stress level which helps greatly in keeping us healthy.

    To remind myself of my good fortune, I have drawn up a list for my daily expression of giving thanks.
