Thankful

I am thankful for. . .

• a God who loves me and His Son that died to save me.
• a mom and dad who love me.
• that I have a job and can pay my bills.
• that I have a job that allows me to actually teach.
• that I have a roof over my head that has running water and electricity.
• that I am living in a country where I can voice my opinion, have a job, have an education, and not worry about getting harmed physically for doing so.
• those who are willing to defend my country no matter the cost.
• my friends and their love.
• that I've been blessed with a reliable car.
• that I've been blessed with good, improving health.
• that the lack of feeling, that I've had for three years (nerve damage), in my right calf is almost completely gone.
• my hurts, because it means that I have not become so cynical that I've developed a cold heart and stopped caring about others.
• my ability and capacity to love.
• the talents and gifts God has given to me.
• all the protection God granted me when I should of ended up dead, in jail, or addicted to something.
• my ever faithful kitty cats. Hey, they keep me warm at night.
• my bloggy friends; without whom, my life would be a little emptier.
• RT Tube! (ha!)

"How Could I Ask for More"
Cindy Morgan


I'm thankful for many things that I did not mention. Despite all my whining, I'm very grateful for my life and how God has blessed me. I'm also thankful for blessings that I have not yet experienced.

Because of the LORD's great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness. I say to myself, "The LORD is my portion; therefore I will wait for him." The LORD is good to those whose hope is in him, to the one who seeks him; it is good to wait quietly for the salvation of the LORD. Lamentations 3:22-26 (NIV)

Have a safe, happy, and blessed Thanksgiving!
