What are you Thankful for?

Today is Thanksgiving Day. It is a time to think about what you are thankful for through the year and in your life. It is a time to celebrate all that God has given to you in your life. It is a time to be blessed. A time to spend with family and friends.

That got me to thinking. What am I thankful for? As I write this there are a lot of things that come to my mind.

1. My Family-I am thankful for my family. Some of those that I consider to be family are not my blood family. They are people that are in my life that I love just like they were my family. They are people that have adopted me into their family. I am thankful for each and every one of them.

2. My Friends-I am thankful that I have such wonderful friends. They are there for me when I need them. They listen and advise. They truly wonderful.

3. My Faith-My faith has gotten me through so many things in this life. My faith has helped me to do so many things that I would have never have done before.

4. My Job-I am thankful for my job because without it I would not be able to have what I do. My job has made it possible for me to have a nice car, pay my bills each month, and keep food on the table.

5. My Car-I am thankful that I have a car that will get me where I need to go. It runs great and gets good gas mileage. I am hoping in the near future to get a new one.

6. Memories-I have so many memories in my life. I am thankful mostly for the memories of those that I have loved and lost. I can look back on them when I am missing those people and smile.

7. Music-I am thankful for music, to sing and to listen. I am thankful for Jason Crabb and that I discovered his music at a time in my life when I was lost. I am thankful for SiriusXM The Message that I listen to each day. It uplifts me. I listen to it in the car and sometimes I sing along really loud to it. I am also thankful that I have found songs that I can sing as solos at church or that I can lead at church if the need arises. 

8. My Bibles-I have so many bibles. Most of them are ones that I have bought. Some are ones that I was given as gifts. Others were ones that belonged to family members and I was given them after those loved ones passed. My bibles are special to me. I cherish each one.

9. My Essential Oils-I am thankful that my dear friend Andrea got me into Essential Oils. I use Peppermint the most. It is good for so much. I use it mostly for my headaches. It helps so much. I also use thrive, focus, and harmony.

10. Everyday things-I am thankful for the things we take for granted. I am thankful for food to eat. That I have a warm place to live and sleep. That I have clothes to wear. Some people don't have these items. We tend to take these for granted.

11. Each Day I am alive-We tend to take everyday life for granted. God gives us a gift each day. When we wake up we need to thank the Lord for his gift to us. 

12. For Jesus..his birth, his death on the cross, and his gift of Eternal Life-I am so thankful that Jesus Christ was born. He lived his life like us. I am thankful that he suffered death on the cross to save me from my sins. I am also thankful that he gave me Eternal Life in Heaven with him when I die. He is an awesome God.
