Things to Be Thankful For

I know we all need a few reminders here and there. I've had this on my fridge for about two years now. I cut it out of the newspaper one year near Thanksgiving because it hit home for me. It takes all those little things we can find annoying or complain about and shows why it's a good thing. I love things like that. Finding the positive in the situation. I hope it helps remind all of you as well.


Things To Be Thankful For
  • Be thankful for the clothes that fit a little too snug, because it means you have enough to eat.
  • Be thankful for the mess you clean up after a party because it means you have been surrounded by friends.
  • Be thankful for the taxes you pay, because it means that you're employed.
  • Be thankful that your lawn needs mowing and your windows need fixing, because it means you have a home.
  • Be thankful for your heating bill, because it means you are warm.
  • Be thankful for the laundry, because it means you have clothes to wear.
  • Be thankful for the space you find at the far end of the parking lot, because it means you can walk.
  • Be thankful for the lady who sings off-key behind you in church, because it means you can hear.
  • Be thankful when people complain about the government, because it means we have freedom of speech.
  • Be thankful for the alarm that goes off in the early morning hours, because it means you're alive.

Have a great and thankful day! ~Kelly
