It is that time of the year when we think about all the things to be thankful. I am not sure how many blessings I have because some of the more important ones are ones I do not see. If I rest in God, he will take care of all the blessings I need in life.

at Christmas. 

She handed the letter back to me and said, “Look, this violation was
last week in Miami. I was not in Miami last week. This cannot be 
right.” 

My happiness was on a downward spiral. I looked the letter over several
times only to discover she was right. She is always right, and here was 
new proof. I advised her to take it over to the sheriff department and 
see what they think. 

It was not long before she came back and into the house happily
whistling but no dancing. 

“What are you so happy about?” 

She looked at me with a smile and a Merry Christmas twinkle in her eye
and said, “The sheriff department told me this was a fraud. It is not 
my ticket. They advised me to destroy it and forget about it.” 

Looking at me smiling, she said, "Aren't you happy for me?" 

All I could do was look back, smile, and say, "Yes, dear." 

Of all the tickets I have received, I could enjoy one for my wife. 

It was not a very serious issue, but I could have gotten a lot of
mileage from this. Now it is gone. Just when you think you got 
something, it turns out to be nothing. 

I am glad that the ticket was a fraud. I was thinking of what the
apostle Paul said. "Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by 
prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made 
known unto God” (Philippians 4:6). 

It is that time of the year when we think about all the things to be
thankful. I am not sure how many blessings I have because some of the 
more important ones are ones I do not see. If I rest in God, he will 
take care of all the blessings I need in life.
