Everyday Should Be Thanksgiving!

For a Christian everyday should be thanksgiving as we daily celebrate God's goodness in our lives. Here's a poem with that reminder:

I love the mess to clean after a party because it means I have been surrounded by friends.

I love the taxes I pay because it means that I'm employed.


I love the clothes that fit a little too snug because it means I have enough to eat.


I love a lawn that needs mowing, windows that need cleaning and gutters that need fixing because it means I have a home.


I love all the complaining I hear about our government because it means we have freedom of speech.


I love the spot I find at the far end of the parking lot because it means I am capable of walking.


I love my huge heating bill because it means I am warm.


I love the lady behind me in church who sings off key because it means that I can hear.


I love the piles of laundry and ironing because it means my loved ones are nearby.


I love weariness and aching muscles at the end of the day because it means I have been productive.


I love the alarm that goes off in the early morning hours because it means that I'm alive!

I Thessalonians 5:18 "Give thanks in all circumstances for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus."

We have so much to be thankful for - we just need to adjust our perspective and open our eyes to all the many many blessings that we have been given - then our hearts will overflow with thanksgiving. What are you thankful for today?
