Pre-Thanksgiving Day Gratitude

Here’s my head-start on things to be thank­ful for this year:

• I am thank­ful I’m not at an air­port this morn­ing with a delayed flight due to com­puter glitches in Atlanta, GA
• I am thank­ful I have been given an oppor­tu­nity to work with a video crew again at a youth con­fer­ence this December.
• I am thank­ful that through­out the years, God is faith­ful and just to for­give my sins.
• I am thank­ful that I know where I’ll spend eternity.
• I am thank­ful for all of the lit­tle things that life affords me, that oth­ers some­times take for granted or forget:
  • A new day
  • The next breath of fresh air
  • Birds singing in the trees and around my bird­feeder as I wake each morning
  • Elec­tric­ity to keep my heater running
  • A roof over my head to keep me dry
  • Food in my kitchen
  • Gas money
  • A car that gets me from point A to point B on a con­sis­tant basis
  • Won­der­ful friends
  • Lov­ing family

What are you thank­ful for?  We should be thank­ful daily, but we usu­ally for­get.  That’s why I love this time of year, when I am reminded of all the many bless­ings that came my way.
