There really are so many things to be thankful for, I hardly know where to begin. This year, I have made a concentrated effort to be thankful way more often than just during the Thanksgiving season. In fact, many times I feel guilty about not being thankful enough and complaining too much. Life becomes much more bearable and positive when you remember the many things we are privileged to enjoy.
It has become glaringly obvious over the past year that we really do have much for which to give thanks. Even the shortfalls of our economy have amplified what we have compared to everywhere else. No one else has that many things to worry about since they do not have it at all. Life is much simpler. No stocks, bonds, CD's 401K's, credit cards, bank collapses or such things to lose sleep over.
With that in mind, here is a short list of things that we are blessed with:
- a God who loves/blesses us in spite of ourselves
- a loving family
- sweet children
- wonderful loving husband who works hard
- jobs
- a home that is warm and comfortable
- friends
- health
- plenty of food
The list could go on and on and we wouldn't run out. So, in this Thanksgiving season as well as any season, remember to be thankful. It truly gives life perspective when things get tougher!
Happy Thanksgiving to you & yours!!!
