Every thanksgiving, I like to make a list of things I'm thankful for. I've done this for the last two years, and I really enjoy it. It makes me think of just how grateful I am, and of how much I really am blessed, though sometimes I don't even realize it.
THINGS I AM THANKFUL FOR--Thanksgiving 2006
1. God
-His neverending love
-His amazing grace
-His limitless mercy
-His continual forgiveness
2. Jesus
-The salvation He brought me through His death and resurrection.
-The fact that He died on the cross for me, and that even if I were the only one on earth, He still would have done it.
-His blood covers me when I go to the Father for forgiveness for my sins.
-He too loves me unconditionally.
3. The Holy Spirit
-Before I believed, I was blind to sin. When I became a believer, He opened my eyes and let me finally see.
-He is God's strength in me; He gives me strength through the Father to overcome life's trials.
4. My family, who even though they sometimes don't see it, I love unconditionally and I always will.
5. My boyfriend, the first man to ever truly love me, and whom I love with all my heart.
6. My friends, without whom my life would be empty and humorless.
7. The opportunity that lies before me, the chance to make a new and better life for myself, to become the woman God made me to be.
8. The gift of education. I may not have taken it seriously at the time, but I know without it, I couldn't have made it as far as I have.
9. Having a roof over my head, clothes to wear and food to eat. Many many others around the world don't have half the things I take for granted each day.
10. The talent for writing God has blessed me with. I'm going to start picking up my pen more often; I want to write to glorify Him.
11. For life itself. It's not an easy road, but at least there is a road. For some, the end comes too soon.
I wanted to share this with you, in hopes that it will remind you to celebrate this holiday as it was meant to be celebrated: Think of all that you do have, and be thankful for it. Somewhere out there is someone else who doesn't have half as much as you.

Wow. It sounds like you have a good life. Especially because of the way your list started: God, Jesus, Holy Spirit. On top of that, you have family and a mate that truly loves you for who you are. To me, to be in love is 95% of a good life.

I am so thankful that I have a sane mind and a kind heart. I am thankful for all that I have in life. I am thankful for my family which mean the most to me. I am thankful for my friends who are there in good and bad times. I am thankful that I am no longer in the military because this is a very scarey time to be in. I am thankful for the simple things in my life and for the ability to be a disabled veteran who can walk. And I am thankful for my job where I work with other veterans who are in need. I wish and pray for all of you and your families, I hope this season finds you happy and feeling good.
