We had a fabulous Thanksgiving and a fun weekend following - time with family partying with friends - my idea of a perfect weekend! In the midst of all that fun I realized I didn't take much time to think about being thankful. So on Sunday I sat down and made a list. Here are the things that came to mind. I'm thankful for:
Having enough to eat (More than enough, obviously, since I'm currently dieting!) A nice house and a warm bed - and someone special to share it with, which brings me to My man! He's a good guy and a loving husband. And he can even admit when he's wrong. How's that for impressive? Immediate and extended family that I love and enjoying being around My health That fact that God has brought me through some very difficult times in the past few years but I'm still here and can smile. Forgiveness of sins and the hope of heaven Parents who instilled faith and godly principles in their kids My mom's great example of hospitality Hair! (I still remember - not fondly- when I didn't have any) The gift of writing The ability to earn a living doing what I love Loyal (and fun!) friends A beautiful view out my living room window A paid off house A husband who is a good money manager (hence the paid off house) Being able to still see and hear (not as good as when I was twenty but oh, well) Medical insurance Living in a democracy where I can vote and express my opinions freely (and hopefully always politely) The ability to worship without getting put in jail or tortured Dentists (If I'd lived in another time half my teeth would have fallen out by now!) Chocolate (and all those chocolatey treats that keep the dentists in business) Holidays and the special celebrations that come with them A car that runs Books The ability to travel A good night's sleep (when I can get it) Life!
