As we get closer to Thanksgiving, I am more and more frustrated by the way "commercialism" has taken over this time of year! Where has Thanksgiving gone? Has it been hidden behind all the Christmas decorations that went up at our local shopping centers on November 1st? Has it been forgotten? Really?
I don't really think so...but I do think that we need to be more intentional about being thankful...not just now, but all the time! Counting our blessings, no matter how small or insignificant, is a great reminder of how blessed we are! So, once again...
I am thankful for the heater in my bathroom...
I am thankful that it isn't 8 degrees here today, like I saw it is in Montana on my friend's facebook status...
I am thankful for our kids' friends...they make life so much more fun...
I am thankful for Subway lunch...
I am thankful that we live within 5 miles of (almost) everything...
I am thankful for the local library...
I am thankful for Sunday afternoons, when I can prop up my feet and bury my nose in a book...
I am thankful that Jim could spend time away this weekend with friends...
I am thankful that things went like clockwork here, while he was gone...
And...I am thankful that he will be home soon...I want to sleep in tomorrow morning! :)
What are YOU thankful for?
