My mom is my best friend. At 84, she is full of thankfulness for all she has in life. She grew up in an orphanage, has lived a simple but full life. I asked her to make a list of thankfulness. This is what she typed up on her laptop (she is a high tech granny):
Things I am thankful for:
Thankful for God allowing me another day
Thankful for God’s love
Thankful for Christ Jesus who died for me
Thankful for being able to pray
Thankful for God’s beautiful earth
for the birds that sing, trees, flowers, rain and for the sunshine
Thankful for my beloved husband
Thankful for a cool house in the summer and warm in the winter
Thankful for my wonderful children, all my grandchildren, and great grandchildren
Thankful for my church family
Thankful for the food we have
Thankful for my friends
Thankful for my neighbor Joe and his family
Thankful for my eyes able to read and study God’s word and see God’s beautiful world
Thankful for my ears so I can hear the bird’s singing
Thankful for our car (which our son gave us)
Thankful for my bed to sleep in
Thankful for all my aches and pains (I know others are a lot worse off)
Thankful for the night’s rest

What are you thankful for?
Moving forward,
