I’m so thankful for the glorious gift of a Savior! I know beyond a shadow of a doubt that if I had been the only person to ever have sinned that the Lord would have still given me Jesus. He would have still made such a huge sacrifice, just for me.
I’m so thankful for so many things – for a Christian family, for a husband that loves me, children that are Christians because they want to be, not because I am. For extended family that I can go to for anything at anytime and for the best sister in the whole wide world.
I’m thankful for the freedoms that living in the USA gives me, for the kindness of strangers, for the blessings of technology – that bring people that are a world apart right to my finger tips and I can *hug* them. I’m thankful for those that pray for me and then take the time to tell me they pray – as I know our Father honors those petitions.
I’m thankful for the million little things in this life that make life big! For the cloud shapes in the sky, for the colors that dance across the sky when the sun is rising and setting. For the moon that is always there, lighting our way at night and the sunlight that warms me and brightens my day. I’m thankful for the laughter of little children that are swinging on swings, sliding down slides and playing in the rain. For the rainbows that appear after the rain, reminding me that God always keeps His promises. I’m thankful for the ocean and how soothing, calming and gentle the waves feel as they lap against my toes when I’m standing next to it. I’m also reminded of its mighty power that can destroy cities – even those several hundred miles away.
I’m thankful for the opportunity to give to others, to truly make a difference in this life that I live. I’m thankful that God gave me a desire to give big and I pray that desire will never leave me. I’m thankful for the chance to remind others that there’s no joy like spreading joy and when we give, we get so much more in return. I’m thankful for others that try and make a difference every day. I’m thankful for those that take the time so say I care about you….because, a little goes such a long way!
I’m thankful to be a tiny part of several ministries with huge hearts and people doing all that they can do to make a difference.
There is no amount of paper that could hold all that I’m thankful for! I hope that you’ll stop and think about all the million little blessings that come your way every day. Tell me, what are you thankful for?
That was precious! It's so good for your soul to remember all the wonderful things in your life – from big to small!

@Ami – Gratitude is spreading like wildfire…given this economy we are FORCED to step back and look at what we truly are blessed with! Thank you!
@Claus Thank you for the comment – Gratitude can and does make a world of difference – through the toughest battles.

We have so many things to be thankful for. Thank you for the reminder that some of the best blessings are small and often overlooked.

I am glad that I found this information. I am the type of person that loves to be inspired. Whether it be with regards to home life or business. This blog has some great posts and your posts inspire me to be productive and has given me ideas to move forward.
I love being thankful, in my life there is nothing like it. Your post was like water to my thirsty soul. No matter what life throws at me I have decided I will find something it big or small and say thanks. And like you I count my blessings. I was never like this but I have come to realize hands down it beats anything. There is always a reason to say thank you even with tears pouring down or when they stop..
Thanks I met you on twitter and now I think I will be checking often.
