Happy Thanksgiving

I am thankful for -The taxes I pay because it means I'm employed . . .

The clothes that fit a little too snug because it means I have more than enough to eat . . .

My shadow who watches me work because it means I am out in the sunshine . . .

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

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

My huge heating bill because it means I am warm . . .

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

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

The piles of laundry and ironing because it means my loved ones are nearby . . .

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

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

This Thanksgiving, I hope you pause to give God thanks for all of this and more.

Happy Thanksgiving!
