Today, in celebration of the American holiday "Thanksgiving Day," I want to share with you a recording of short story written by Louisa May Alcott, called "An Old-Fashioned Thanksgiving." The audio file has no commentary—it's merely an unabridged reading of the story—and is suitable for you to share with your children as a worthwhile story to enjoy this time of year. But this story is filled with financial lessons for those with ears to hear. As you listen to a life of long ago (circa 1830), I'd encourage you to reflect on the life that you and I now live in comparison. For me, this reflection fills me with Thanksgiving, which is the starting point of living a rich life now. You are rich. I am rich. Let's realize it and act appropriately. Joshua If you prefer to read the story to your children yourself, here is the text I read: https://digital.library.upenn.edu/women/alcott/thanksgiving/thanksgiving.html  Here are a few poem and prayers of Thanksgiving you may enjoy as well: O Lord, that lends me life, Lend me a heart replete with thankfulness! ~~William Shakespeare 1564-1616 May all who share these gifts today Be blessed by Thee, we humbly pray. What God gives and what we take 'Tis a gift for Christ his sake;

Joshua J Sheats offers a unique blend of lifestyle design, financial planning, and business strategies to help people achieve financial freedom in under 10 years. His approach aligns perfectly with those seeking practical, actionable advice. If you're making major life decisions, such as buying a property, resources like **[My Conveyancing Matters](https://myconveyancingmatters.co.uk/)** can also support your journey by simplifying the legal aspects of property transactions.

Very well, meaning. Enciphal commentary, however, this type of illegal immigration is an insult for those of us who had to go through the hoops to come here legally and had to work our way up. Be food chain to obtainwhat we have today. , especially for the legitimate political refugees that have sought asylum. Following the letter of the law.

Increíble la historia de este supuesto misionero que dios le tenga mi esférico del día porque parece que no es salvo y no conoce a Jesús como su Señor y Salvador.
