This has been a long year for my family. We have changes both postive and negative. We have gained blessings and we have lost loved ones. It has been a hard time to be able to look around and say I am thankful for. But at this time of year I have been trying to be more aware of what I am thankful for. So here is my list of thankful things in life.
1. my family
2. my mom
3. my work
4. my dogs
5. my husband
6. my church family
7. my Savior
8. my God
9. my many friends
10. my health
11. my home
12. having food on the table
13. the quiet nights
14. my memoirs
15. being loved
16. the God given wisdom
17. laughing with my kids
18. quiet time with my husband
19. being able to walk
20. being able to love
21. having a running car
22. being able to read
23. being able to worship the one true God
24. the ability to help others.
25. the gift of grace
26. the ability to forgive
27. being forgiven
There are so many. I think if I could each just say thank you for one of these things each day my focus would no longer be on the sorrows of the day, but the blessing of God's hand upon my life. Jesus walks with me, talks with me, and wants to be with me each and every day. I just need to remember that. And this is one way I can do just that, being thankful.
