Oct. 13, 2008 - Give Thanks

Psalm 100:4  "Enter His gates with thanksgiving and His courts with praise; give thanks to Him and praise His name." 

So, if we enter into the presence of God through our thanksgiving I decided I'd better start practicing being a grateful, thankful person. Here is a list of all the things I'm thankful for today:

My husband..who is always there to offer support...and who cleaned the nasty carpet in my  van!

The lack of strange smell in my van today because of said husband!

My kiddos...who are smart and fun and beautiful!

My pup...who is crazy in love with me..I tell him to "get a life", but I secretly love that he wants to be with me so!

Our church...which is made up of  wonderful, godly people who amazed me this weekend as we dealt with tragedy.

Beautiful fall weather!

Hot sleepytime tea that feels so good on my sore throat!

A comfy bed....I am especially aware of this because I've spent a few nights on the not so comfy couch.

Cold/Cough medicine

*note:  I found this post sitting in my drafts folder....according to the date for over a month!  I will continue with the thread of things to be thankful for:

I'm thankful that after a whole month my van is still surprizingly clean and odor free!

Great deals at Kohl's yesterday while Christmas shopping!

The emergence of Christmas lights and Christmas music...yes even though it is BEFORE Thanksgiving!

good friends

good coffee

good books

I'm thankful that it's rainy today which gives me an excuse to NOT rake (wet) leaves!

I'm thankful that my husband's job is secure even in such troubled economic times

I'm thankful that we have a refridgerator filled with yummy food to prepare for our Thanksgiving feast  

I'm thankful that we have friends coming over to celebrate Thanksgiving with us

I'm thankful for corny traditions like our little Thanksgiving tree, where we write what we are thankful for on paper leaves and hang them on the twiggy little tree

I'm thankful that we are still enjoying more freedom and prosperity than most of the rest of the world

I'm thankful that God is in control no matter what!

What are you thankful for this season?
