“Develop an attitude of gratitude, and give thanks for everything that happens to you, knowing that every step forward is a step toward achieving something bigger and better than your current situation.” – Brian Tracy I’m thankful today for… help with “decking the halls” of our home. turkey sandwiches with cranberry sauce. laughter in the midst of competition. snowmen. 

O Lord that lends me life,Lend me a heart replete with thankfulness. ~William Shakespeare Thankful today for… early Christmas presents. twinkling white lights. a second wind.

“Enter into His gates with thanksgiving, and into His courts with praise.  Be thankful to Him, and bless His name.” ~Psalm 100:4 Thankful today for… a lazy morning to enjoy. baked oatmeal. David and Hope hanging up the Christmas lights outside. the joyful sound of Brianna’s singing coming from upstairs. the start of a new knitting project. the One who gives me life.
