Here's a list of little things to be thakful for...

The mess to clean after a party because it means I have been surrounded by friends.

The taxes I pay because it means that I'm employed.

The clothes that fit a little too snug because it means I have enough to eat.

My shadow who watches me work because it means I am out in the sunshine.

A lawn that needs mowing, windows that need cleaning and gutters that need fixing because it means I have a home.

All the complaining I hear about our government because it means we have freedom of speech.

The space I find at the far end of the parking lot because it means I am capable of walking.
The lady behind me in church who sings off key because it means that I can hear.

The piles of laundry and ironing because it means I have clothes to wear.

Weariness and aching muscles at the end of the day because it means I have been productive.

The alarm that goes off in the early morning hours because it means that I'm alive.

Getting too much email bogs me down but at least I know I have friends who are thinking of me.

I am thankful very much fr the same things you are.
I'm also thankful for my Church for it gives me God's intended service and a place to pray and worship with others for Jesus is there in our midst.
I'm also thankful for the food I eat and for all the people from farmers and ranchers to the folks that prepare it ship it and provide it for sale.
Being a person of poor health I am particularly thankful for hospital, doctors, nurses, and medical technicians.
I am also thankful for the medications I need, for the folks that discover and make it, those that provide it and for the Lord God who created the materials that go into the makeup of the medicines and foods I need for this life.
God Bless all who are thankful.
Peace and kindness,
Fred
