Being Thankful

My cousin's husband is a pastor and this was part of his sermon this past Sunday I d not live near by but love listening to his sermons every Monday Morning!!!


"Being Thankful instead of Complaining.."
I Am Thankful For...
....the mess to clean after family gatherings because it means I have been surrounded by family and friends.
I Am Thankful For...
...the taxes I pay because it means that I am employed.
I Am Thankful For...
...the clothes that fit a little too snug because it means I have enough to eat.
I Am Thankful For...
...my shadow who watches me work because it means I am out in the sunshine.
I Am Thankful For...
...a lawn that needs mowing, windows that need cleaning and gutters that need fixing because it means that I have a home.
I Am Thankful For...
...the spot I find at the far end of the parking lot because it means I am capable of walking.
I Am Thankful For...
...all the complaining I hear about our government because it means we have freedom of speech.
I Am Thankful For...
...my huge heating bill because it means that I am warm.
I Am Thankful For...
...the lady behind me in church who sings off key because it means I can hear.
I Am Thankful For...
...the piles of laundry because it means my loved ones are nearby.
I Am Thankful For...
...the alarm that goes off in the early morning hours because it means that I'm alive.
I Am Thankful For...
...weariness and aching muscles at the end of the day because it means I have been productive.
