Gratitude

I cannot believe that it is NOVEMBER already!
Once again we will celebrate the Thanksgiving holiday in just TEN days.  And there are so many things to be thankful for.
Growing up, I remember many hymns and songs that I learned in church.
One in particular was

Count Your Blessings

(by Johnson Oatman, Jr.)
Count your blessings, name them one by one,
Count your blessings, see what God has done!
Count your blessings, name them one by one,
Count your many blessings, see what God has done.

 

So that is what I’m going to do…

Count My Blessings!

 

Love – LB by my side, Elvis always at my feet, Mama right next door

Family – Those who will be with me during the coming holidays and those I’ll see again someday

Memories – I have so many happy ones

Home – My most favorite place to be

My bed – I thank God for it every time my head hits the pillow

Electricity, indoor plumbing, and modern appliances

Health – I am SO blessed to be healthy

My treadmill – I don’t have to go to a gym or hit the sidewalk

The Job – I don’t like it, but it helps to have a paycheck

Some of my coworkers – You know who you are

Weekends – What everybody’s working for

Time – it isn’t promised, but I’m thankful for the time I’ve been given – including the few minutes I have to write this gratitude post

 

Gratitude is the healthiest of all human emotions.
The more you express gratitude for what you have, the more likely you will have even more to express gratitude for.
~ Zig Ziglar
