Thankful Day One

Wow!! The first day of November already and I have so many things I wanted to have done by now.  I awake grateful for the crisp weather with a list a mile long of things to be accomplished.  Run out the door already having made two return trips upstairs for forgotten items and remembering a third and can’t go back again or I’ll be late.  I get in the car, check my route via google, finding it clear, and head out.

In the midst of it all there is so much to be thankful for.  You see, I arose from a warm bed having been embraced by a snuggly husband.  I had a large selection of clothing to choose from, hot water for a shower and a warm, safe, comfortable home from which I departed into a reliable, comfortable car to make my way to work.  I am so very fortunate; so very blessed, and these were but a few of the blessings in my life.  I continued my trek to work in a spirit of blessing for others and arrived at my job wondering how I might bless others throughout my day.

What are you grateful for today?

In everything give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you. (1 Thessalonians 5:18)
