Business Community Is Thankful and Blessed BY KIM WIGINGTON
Every November, we take a day to thank God for our blessings, even in the middle of turmoil. Do you remember this old hymn? “Count your blessings. Name them one by one. Count your many blessings, see what God has done.” Yes, the past couple of years have been tough. It is easy to get discouraged and focus on our problems more than our blessings. I hope you take this time to look back on your year, find the bright spots and be thankful. I am thankful that my family is healthy, my business is strong and my friends are many. I am thankful that I can see the fruits of my labor, and I have hope for the future. Those are not small things. Finally, I am thankful for the Acworth business community and the support you have given one another these past two years. Some of us would not have survived without it. Acworth is truly a blessed community. Kim Wigington is the president of the ABA, and serves as chairwoman of the Acworth Downtown Development Authority. She is the founder and director of Brookwood Christian School. She and her husband have lived in Acworth for 16 years and have two adult daughters.
