Being Thankful

" A thankful heart is not only the greatest virtue, but the parent of all other virtues." ~~~~Marcus Tullius Cicero

What a great quote. How thankful are we for the people in our life, the house we live in, the car we have. What about health? Are we thankful for purely being healthy, the stars, moon, and the air we breath. It hard to see these small but great things with turmoil surrounding our lives.

So what am I greatful and thankful for.

Let see...

1. First and formost my family. They mean the world to me. They give me hope. They give me light.
2. My good close friends that listen, encourage, love regardless.
3. I am thankful for church. I love church I always have. It is apart of me, the reason I am the way I am.
4. For jobs and a house. I am especially greatful we have a roof over our heads and a very nice one. We have been extremely blessed.
5. For the power of prayer. I have turned to the lord so much over the years and he has helped in times of need and times of gratitude.
6. That my 2 boys are still alive. I dont know what I would have done without them.
7. For my school, although I am starting to wonder if I am really enjoying it. only 15 more months. :)
8. For the beautiful area I live in. I love this town. It is the nicest little town anyone could possibly live in. Great schools, great people, great congregation. Just love it.
9. For life. Doesn't mean life is easy but I still see the good in everything and everyone. I love life regardless. :)
10. I am grateful that I love people so much and love to help them. Its so much better then hating people by far. :)
11. Grateful for a good book that I can dive into. That lets me imagine, that lets me see the world from a different light.
12. Grateful for a walk. To think, ponder, pray.
13. Thankful for a brain. lol.. Ok so yes I am sooooo very happy I have a brain to think with.


I can go on and on.. cuz i am thankful for so many things in my life. Overall I am thankful that I am here, I am me, and have family and friends that love me. I love them more then anything. :)
