What I am Thankful For ...

I am thankful for many things like most people - GOD, family, friends, home, job, and food on the table.

These are very important things that we too often forget that we are wealthier than most of the rest of the world.

I am thankful that I am reminded of this especially during the holidays.

It is far better to give than to receive.

I am thankful that my parents instilled in us to have a desire to help others in need.

I am thankful that my little family is continuing in this tradition.

I am thankful for the little things in life even if they last but for a moment - a rainy afternoon causing me to slow down and enjoy myself, flowers that need planting, an empty laundry basket, a students who finally "gets it," a husband who loves me, a husband that does the floors, a sweet Tootsie that nudges me when she needs some loving, a family where there is never a dull moment, a great church, friends who you can share secrets with, and being loved even when you fill you least deserve it.

There is so much to be thankful for! I need to count my blessing every day and show gratitude for what I do have.

I believe that when we realize our blessings it not only gives us hope for future blessings but also refreshes us.
