thankfulness

I hope that you made a list during November of 30 things that you are thankful for. One of the things that I enjoyed the most about making the list is, it forced me every day to turn my thinking towards something good. Being thankful changed by attitude.

here is my list from the 30 days in case you missed it:

1 wife
2 people that led me to Christ
3 [lion's den man wrote]
4 time
5 sight
6 responsibility
7 home
8 things that grow
9 4 seasons
10 parents
11 a Sunday off
12 our country
13 other united Methodist pastors
14children
15 humiliation
16 forgiveness
17 music
18 problems
19 faith
20 those who see the world differently than I do
21 food
22 breath
23 deer and other animals
24 hope
25 church staff
26 medicine
27 gratitude
28 random acts of kindness
29 love
30 sleep

Now, I hope you made a list. I have been thinking and wondering, after making a list of 30 things to be thankful for in November, could I, on Dec 1st, find another 30 things to be thankful for. I bet I can. Can you?

Here we go:
1. sunrises
2. the beach
3. cars that run
4. working with my hands
5. accomplishments
6. humility
7. Dave Templeman
8. healing of the heart
9. MP3 players
10. veterans and those who serve in our military
11. the quilters
12. coffee
13. God speaking in the wee hours
14. joy
15. Christmas
16. mission work
17. generosity
18. the ability to change
19. the postmaster in Independence
20. dentists
21. Novocain
22. shoes that fit
23. trusted friends
24, celebration
25. the ability to read
26. Sue Watson
27. to see you as a soul
28. warmth on a cold day
29 pets [don't tell them I said so]
30 learning patience

Should I try for another 30 tomorrow?
What are you thankful for. Grab onto gratitude. it will grab on to you.

It's a beautiful day in God's world be sure to see the good.
