A bed - how much of the world sleeps on the ground?
Electricity
Running water and indoor plumbing
Grocery store two miles away
A 25 pound turkey in my fridge
A fridge
My hubby - a good man
My daughter - a creative, bright girl
My son - a funny, intelligent boy
Living near family
Expanded horizons, both literally and figuratively
My hubby's job
Health insurance
Two cars
Spending money
Wonderful friends
The presence of God
Finally finding a church we love
Always being in sight of the mountains
Lots of books
Not only shelter, but shelter I love
Someone else to pick the grain, make the bread, slaughter the chickens, milk the cows, etc
When I back off, get not just a broader perspective but a world-wide perspective, I recognize my incredible abundance. I am very thankful.
I am thankful that God has blessed us so much.
May you be blessed, and may you fully appreciate those blessings this Thanksgiving and always!
Same here Kay. And, I do find it amazing in a near-depression economy that the things to be thankful for are even more abundant! Hope you have a Great Thanksgiving!
ReplyDeleteWe definitely have much to be thankful for. "Count your blessing one by one, and you will be surprised what the Lord hath done." He's always good all the time.
ReplyDeleteGreat List! I'm particularly fond of running water and electricity.
ReplyDeleteIt reminds me of something humorous that I posted on a forum a good while back and since most people didn't know me they so didn't get it... oh well.
Happy Thanksgiving!
Great list. I have a shorter one on my blog. Blessings to you and yours this T day.
ReplyDeleteHappy Thanksgiving Kay!
ReplyDeleteHappy Thanksgiving my friend!
ReplyDeleteAmen. And I am sooo with you on the being thankful for the folks who kill the turkeys, process the stuff, milk the cows etc. I love reading historical fiction, not living it! Happy Thanksgiving!
