I’m thankful:

· That God loves me and that He died to save me

· For a family I love, that loves me

· For a job I enjoy and even look forward to (most the time)

· That I’m an American, with all that means

· That my present and future are in God’s hands, and I don’t have to worry about making that great move, missing that perfect opportunity, looking out for myself – I know He has it totally under control

· For how lavish God is with his gifts – He didn’t give us just a couple of different kinds of birds or even a couple dozen, He gave us hundreds. He didn’t give us just a handful of different flowers, he gave us hundreds and each one has its unique color and scent. He didn’t give us food just to sustain life, but He gave us thousands of different, wonderful things to eat.

· For the beauty of creation and the eyes to see it. Especially in the early morning and early evening when the sky is a soft, velvety dark blue.

· For music and bird song and children’s laughter and the ears to hear it

· For the Holy Spirit, living within me and making more like Christ every day
