Thanksgiving List 5

How was your holiday?  I pray you had a wonderful holiday and weekend.  Here is my last list of ten things I am thankful for. 

1) I am thankful that God chooses to use me.  I am so unworthy.

2) I am thankful for this blog and all of the readers.

3) I am thankful for the blogs of my fellow Christian bloggers.  You all encourage and inspire me.

4) I am thankful for my pets.  We have our own mini zoo at our house and they can drive me crazy at times, but I love our animals. 

5) I am thankful for holidays.  I love spending time with family and friends, eating good food, helping others, decorating, everything about holidays, I love!

6) I am thankful for laughter.  I love hearing people laugh, especially my children.  I love laughing.  God gave us this beautiful way to show our joy.

7) I am thankful for the promise of Heaven.

8) I am thankful for the opportunity for my children to play sports.  It shows they are healthy enough to play and I truly enjoy watching them.

9) I am thankful for quiet nights at home.  It is so wonderful to sit and relax with my husband and children after a long day. 

10) I am thankful that God has called me His friend.

Friends, God is so good.  When I first set out to write fifty things I was thankful for, I was afraid it would be hard.  But the truth is, once I started I was flooded with all of God's goodness and sweet blessings.  Please comment below and share ten things you praise God for!

  2. I'm thankful that my husband just left - for work. :) I'm thankful for the vehicle that gets him to work. I'm thankful that my son got up for work and that he's taking that responsibility seriously. I'm thankful that I have the luxury of sitting here at 8:30 in the morning. I'm thankful for hot water for showers and lots of clothes to wash. God is so good!

  4. There is so much to be thankful for... I bet you could easily come up with 50 more! It's amazing how we can miss it in our busyness... life will just whiz past our blessings and the things that we are grateful for just get buried! I'm challenged to keep being thankful and to keep making lists!

  6. I love to laugh too, and have found that humor can be very healing. I remember sitting around with my brothers and sisters after my dad's memorial service, sharing memories about my dad and laughing together.

    You are right, there is always so much to be thankful for. Even in difficult situations it seems like there is always at least something to be thankful for.

    Thank you for linking up to Making Your Home Sing Monday, and I'd appreciate it if you could put a link back to the meme on your blog.

    It's just a courtesy link and that way your readers could see what the others shared as well. Thank you!
