I am thankful for...

My visiting teaches brought this cute message by a few months ago and I love it so much I wanted to share it! It has really made me think of everything I have been blessed with.

"I am Thankful For...

The mess to clean after a party because it means I have been surrounded by friends

The taxes I pay because it means that I am employed

The clothes that fit too snug because it means I have enough to eat

My shadow that watches me work, because it means there is sunshine

A lawn that needs mowing, windows that need cleaning, and a bed that needs to be made because it means I have a home

All the complaining I hear about the government because it means I have freedom of speech

The parking space at the far end of the lot; because it means I can walk

My huge heating bill because it means I am warm

The lady behind me in church who sings off key because it means that I can hear

The piles of laundry and ironing because it means I have clothes to wear

Weariness and aching muscles at the end of the day because it means I have been productive

Trials, sadness and tears because it means that I am alive and capable of feeling

Count your blessings"
