Say a little prayerNovember 23rd, 2006 @ 10:47 am
Last Sunday in Church they asked us to try to say one prayer this week where we didn’t ask for anything. We were to simply thank the Lord for our blessings. No more, no less. I think they thought this would be hard to do. It’s wasn’t hard at all.
This past year I have been so thankful. We are blessed and I know it. I feel like I haven’t done anything to deserve the blessings in my life, but I thankful for them none the less.
I have a wonderful husband, who I love and who loves me. He works so hard for our little family.
I have a perfect little baby who brings me more joy then I could ever describe in a simple blog post.
I have Faith.
I have a great family who has taught me love and respect.
I have friends that make me laugh and support me.
I have a good job where I make enough money to live.
I have a warm apartment.
I have food in my cupboards.
I have a coat and hat to keep me dry in the rain.
I have a body the allows me to do the things I need to do.
I have the ability to laugh and many things in my life that afford me the chance to laugh often.
I am happy.
Happy Thanksgiving to all of you. We’re off to Canada for the weekend. Catch you on the flip side.

I agree with you, it shouldn’t be and isn’t hard to come up with things to be thankful for. There are days when I am on my way to work and I just thank God for giving me another day of my life. Hope you have a lovely time in Canadia

It’s nice to think about all we have for a while rather than all we wish we had. Nice post.
