So I am trying to write a list of ten things I am thankful for each day between now and Christmas day. People from churches all over the nation are engaged in an exercise to be more grateful, to express the way that they are thankful. Some are doing it privately, in a journal or just on a sheet of paper. Some of us are using our blogs to let others share in the exercise of thankfulness.
It's not a top ten list. I am not sitting down to write down the most important things in my life. It is simply an exercise to remember how much I truly do have to be thankful for.
So here is my list for today.
1. My wife - who loves me for who I am and makes the BEST homemade desserts
2. My boys - who keep me so busy that I don't get to fat, in light of #1
3. Modern appliances that make life so much easier. Yes, I am thankful for my dishwasher.
4. Central heating and air - because 90% of the world doesnt have it.
5. Podcasting - it allows me to always listen to the word presented in different ways, to different people.
6. Another day off, and for the family that will come over later today.
7. SO many people, who are preparing their hearts and lives for ministry this Christmas
8. Warm Blankets piled high (you know what I mean)
9. The ability to work, and be productive
10. I lack nothing. I have everything I need. I want everything I have.
How about you? What are you thankful for?
