There are times in everyone's lives when you just plain have a bad day. Even if things are going well, and you're feeling good... sometimes you still have a crappy attitude. (And when I say "you" I mean "me" too!) So I'm challenging myself, and you, to be thankful on purpose. I have SO much to be thankful for, that sometimes I need to remind myself.
1. I am thankful that God's mercies are new every morning. NO matter how badly
I screw up, He will forgive, truly forget, and start every new day with
a clean slate. That needs to be number one on EVERYONE'S thankful list.
2. I am thankful that we have a wood burner, and don't have to pay almost $4.00 a gallon for fuel oil to heat our house. I'm thankful we have woods all around us and don't have to pay for wood. I am thankful that Doug is able to get all the wood we need for winter without paying someone else to get it. Praise God!
3. I am thankful that my husband is a Christian man, has a good job, is hard working, faithful, trustworthy, loving, a wonderful provider and a great dad. (He's awfully cute too!)
4. I am thankful I have a beautiful, healthy, smart, loving, busy, crazy, amazing, gregarious, precocious, full-of-life son, when I thought I never could. Miracles happen, folks. I'm living proof.
5. I am thankful for the friends that I have that I know I can count on for WHATever, WHENever. Thank you for letting me know that I can depend on you, call you in the middle of the night (only for an emergency, I promise!)…I love you and appreciate you more than you can know.
6. I am thankful I have a computer, and internet, because it allows me to keep in touch with everyone I love.
7. I am thankful for music. It moves me like nothing else can.
8. I am thankful that although I have health issues, I can see and hear. I can walk, and talk, maybe not perfectly, but I can. I'm so, so, so thankful for the IonCleanse. It has given me my life back. Thank you, Lord!!
9. I am thankful that this life is not all we have. That when the time comes, I will be in the presence of God Almighty, and I long to hear "Well done, good and faithful servant." I will be whole again. There will be no more night. No more pain. No more tears. Hallelujah! I will be reunited with those gone before, and meet fellow Christian friends I have not had the privilege to meet in this lifetime.
10. I am thankful for YOU, yes you! The one who is taking the time to read my words. I am thankful you read this, and I want you to know you are loved.
May we all find something we are thankful for today. I'd love to hear what YOU'RE thankful for...leave a comment!

1 Come, let us
sing for joy to the Lord;
let us shout aloud to the Rock of our salvation.
2 Let us come before him with thanksgiving
and extol him with music and song.
let us shout aloud to the Rock of our salvation.
2 Let us come before him with thanksgiving
and extol him with music and song.
3 For the Lord is the great
God,
the great King above all gods.
the great King above all gods.
Psalm
95:1-3

What a nice thing to do, list some things you are thankful for...looking at the positive when your not feeling good. Doug sounds like a great husband, of course your son is the best. You are blessed! Those trees are a source of heat
Thanks, Kim!
