In this episode, on Thanksgiving, Dave discusses the importance of being grateful and references hymn Because I Have Been Given Much by Grace Noll Crowell:

Because I Have Been Given Much
Because I have been given much,
I too must give;
Because of thy great bounty Lord,
Each day I live;
I shall divide my gifts from thee
With every brother that I see
Who has the need of help from me.

Because I have been sheltered, fed
By thy good care;
I cannot see another’s lack and I not share;
My glowing fire, my loaf of bread,
My roof's safe shelter overhead
That he too may be comforted.

Because I have been blessed by
thy great love dear Lord;
I’ll share thy love again
According to thy word;
I shall give love to those in need,
I’ll show that love by word and deed;
Thus shall my thanks be thanks in deed.

Remember how important it is to take time to give gratitude for the things you have, especially in times of hardship.  Over time you will see that you become grateful for the struggles because you will realize it has a purpose.

• Be honest with why time is a problem and identify what matters
• Find the way you can control your time and what works for you.
• Figure out what can you take off your plate

So listen in to hear Dave’s expert advice on how to manage the time you have effectively.
