Thankful Thursday

I am thankful...





.. for the husband who leaves his dirty work clothes on the bathroom floor,

because it means he is home with me and his family.





.. for the teenager who is complaining about doing

dishes, because it means she/he is at home, not on the

streets.





.. for the mess to clean after a party, because it

means that I have been surrounded by friends.





.. for the clothes that fit a little too snug,

because it means I have enough to eat.





.. for my shadow that watches me work, because it

means I am out in the sunshine.





.. for a lawn that needs mowing, windows that need

cleaning, and gutters that need fixing, because it

means I have a home.





.. for all the complaining I hear about the

Government, because it means we have freedom ofspeech.





.. for the parking spot I find at the far end of the

parking lot, because it means I am capable of

walking, and that I have been blessed with

transportation.





.. for my HUGE heating bill, because it means I am

warm.





.. for the lady behind me in church that sings off

key, because it means that I can hear.





.. for the pile of laundry and ironing, because it

means I have clothes to wear.





.. for weariness and aching muscles at the end of the

day, because it means I have been capable of working

hard and using those limbs.





.. for the alarm that goes off in the early morning,

because it means that I am alive.



And finally





.... for too much e-mail, because it means I have

friends who are thinking of me and are trying to make

me smile even when they are out of touch..

Blessings!
