i am thankful

I'm thankful for a whole lot this year - for many things, big and small. Here's a sampling of those things this Thanksgiving week:

1. I am thankful for the truths in this passage, and for a God of whom this can be written: "If thy mercy make me poor and vile, blessed be thou! Prayers arising from my needs are preparations for future mercies; Help me to honor thee by believing before I feel, for great is the sin if I make feeling a cause of faith." (from The Valley of Vision")

2. I am thankful for coffee and tea.

3. I am thankful for good books and cold weather.

4. I am thankful for my little kitten.

5. I am thankful that I am going to have a niece born in April.

6. I am thankful for my roommates.

7. I am thankful for a job that is a source of joy to me.

8. I am thankful for fall and winter.

9. I am thankful for hot showers.

10. I am thankful for my family.

11. I am thankful for sleep.

12. I am thankful that I love where I live.

13. I am thankful for energy and good health.

14. I am thankful for red wine.
