Thankful

I'm thankful for:

- A home to live in and raise my child in
- A comfortable bed to sleep in
- Food to eat
- A nice kitchen to cook the food in
- Comfortable furniture to sit on
- The opportunity to work and make enough to pay bills
- My beautiful family
- That my beautiful family is no longer horribly sick
- Friends who care
- God's grace to cover all my wrongs...my weaknesses
- The ability to play and sing music
- Nice instruments to play
- A car and a van to get around in

Y'all...we have SO much. We've been blessed far beyond what we deserve. Please, during this holiday season...don't give in to the "Jones's" game. Don't whine about not being able to give your kid another 4 wheeler.

Just get a little perspective by taking a look at the countries on our planet where little children are sleeping on a dirt street at night and scavenging through garbage dumps for food. Realize how MUCH you have and don't complain about how much you WISH you had.

God is good and you are blessed. WE are blessed. I'm just thankful all the way around.

Happy Holidays (which I say to include Thanksgiving and Christmas and New Years..not to skip out on saying Christmas so don't bust my chops)
