Today I am so thankful for clean water, electricity, clear skies with no bombs going overhead, green grass, people who care, someone's hand to hold, food in my refrigerator and pantry, a beat up old pick up truck that runs, freedom, no one knocking on my door in the middle of the night to arrest me for praying, a healthy child and husband, health insurance, a job, the fan in my window, a little house to live in, soap, milk for my child to drink, medicine at the ready, a strong family who loves and communicates with one another, super supportive friends, my eyesight, the ability to walk across a room, my hearing, music, the soldiers who gave their life for me...and who are right now sitting in a hot, dusty desert somewhere serving their country, missing their families. I am thankful to be alive today.
Most of all, I'm thankful for Jesus who suffered tremendously and gave his life to pay for all the sins that I've ever done or ever will do....
This is a great post. Love your thankful spirit Annie :))
ReplyDeletei'm thankful for the internet that keeps me connected to annie and sammy this summer, my son's artwork hanging on my refrigerator, the warm breeze blowing through my window, my Mom's voice (which still works now and again), color, insects, my new house, and coffee!
