I am thankful…

- for good jobs with flexible leave that helps us meet our needs [and wants,]

- for the best husband any woman could ever hope to have,

- for kitties that give us a rousing ‘hello!’ whenever we see them,

I am thankful..

- for good boys that have grown into awesome young men,

- that I grew up in a family where giving to others was normal and accepted,

- for flowers in bloom in late November,

I am thankful…

- for friends that share the good and the bad as we go through life together,

- for a comfortable house where kids feel welcome and do who knows WHAT after I go to bed,

- for bright yellow ‘rain’ trees that brighten my day,

I am thankful…

- for good health, awesome doctors, and all of the extraordinary advances in medical treatments in my lifetime, [and eye glasses too,]

- for sweet tea that has no calories,

- and little girls that can pretend to feed their birdies.

I am thankful.

¹O come, let us sing for joy to the LORD,
Let us shout joyfully to the rock of our salvation.
²Let us come before His presence with thanksgiving,
Let us shout joyfully to Him with psalms.
³For the LORD is a great God
And a great King above all gods,
⁴In whose hand are the depths of the earth,
The peaks of the mountains are His also.
⁵The sea is His, for it was He who made it,
And His hands formed the dry land.
⁶Come, let us worship and bow down,
Let us kneel before the LORD our Maker.
⁷For He is our God,
And we are the people of His pasture and the sheep of His hand…

-- Psalm 95
