The following are just some of the blessings we should be thankful for (there are countless others):
- For children who are helping with the chores and doing homework, because that means they are at home and not getting into mischief.
- For the taxes we pay, because it means that we are employed.
- For the mess to clean up after a church luncheon, because it means that we have been surrounded by Christian friends.
- For the clothes that fit a little too snug, because it means we have more than enough to eat.
- For our shadow that watches us when we walk and work, because it means we are out in the sunshine.
- For a lawn that needs mowing, windows that need cleaning, and gutters that need fixing, because it means we have a home and a place where we can rest at night.
- For all the complaining we hear about the government, because it means that we have freedom of speech.
- For the parking spot we find at the far end of the parking lot, because it means we are capable of walking, and that we have been blessed with transportation.
- For our huge heating and cooling bill, because it means we are warm in the winter and cool in the summer.
- For the folks in church that sing off key, because it means that we have the ability to hear.
- For the pile of laundry and ironing, because it means we have clothes to wear.
- For weariness and aching muscles at the end of the day, because it means we have been capable of working hard.
- For the alarm that goes off in the early morning hours, because it means that we are alive and have a place of employment to go to.
- For too much e-mail, because it means we have friends who are thinking of us.
- And finally ..... for the God of Heaven who cares not only for us but for all mankind (Acts 17:24-28; Philippians 4:19; 2 Peter 3:9).
