Thankfulness

First & foremost, everlastingly thankful for Christ; and His ongoing presence in our world and in our lives.

 

Thankful for the "Perfect" Spouse - 'nough said!

Thankful for a wonderful daughter, and for God's hand in her life.

Thankful for a worshipping community of faith, and their wonderful support.

 

Thankful for steady, reliable work that seems to genuinely be helpful, in the world.

Thanks for co-workers that are wonderful human beings!

 

Thankful for "simple gifts" - and a heart to appreciate them.

Thankful for my mom, who taught me to appreciate "the little things" that make life delightful.

Thankful for my dad, who taught me about tolerance, acceptance and simple faith.

Thankful for my brother & sister (and their partners), and their faithful support & friendship thru the years.

Thankful for my in-laws who always welcomed me, and treated me like "family".

 

Thankful for a sense of humor!!!  And friends who have one, too!!!

Thankful for the U.S. Constitution, and the individual and collective freedoms that are mandated therein.

 

Thankful for humanity & even occasional honesty in government - that they are present there, at all...

Thankful for military people, and the risks they take on behalf of all of us.  Lord 'specially bless those who come home wounded!  And the families of those who fall in battle.

Thankful for honest, law-abiding, helpful & friendly neighbors - wherever we encounter them.  We should all be so neighborly!

Thankful for the diversity that strengthens a society, and for enough unity & order to have a good society.

 

Thankful that we aren't killed or maimed every day, by all the dangers and hazards that (reportedly) exist in the world.  Thankful for not over-estimating the actual dangers in living; for not living in fear.

 

Thankful for joy!
