Thankfulness

Have you ever stopped to think what you're truly thankful for (besides on Thanksgiving)?
I know most of us thank God for the big things, but what about little things? I want to encourage anyone who reads this, to come up with 20 things that you are thankful to God for TODAY. Not yesterday, not last week or last month. TODAY. Here is my list.

1. eyes
2. feet
3. arms
4. Zach's affection
5. clothes
6. food
7. pets
8. winter
9. having 2 weeks off from work
10. dishes to eat on
11. christmas tree
12. good friends to talk to throughout the day
13. God!
14. Joyce Meyer's Confident Woman Devotionals
15. air
16. car
17. laptop
18. water
19. church family
20. washer/dryer

Some of these may seem unworthy of mentioning in your opinion, but when you thank God for each one of these, and you acknowledge him for blessing you with each item on your list, he smiles! He also sees that since you thank him for the small things, you can be well trusted with the big things.
