Still Thankful

I hope I never forget to be thankful. I know the Lord takes note when we're thankful and when we're not. Remember the ten lepers who were healed by Jesus and only one thanked Him? How could anyone not at least say "thank you" for receiving such a gift as healing from a dreadful disease? So here's my list of things I am thankful for today:

1> I'm thankful for a warm house when its cold outside and a cool house when its hot outside. While our heating and air conditioning system is man-made I still thank the Lord for giving someone the wisdom and training to make and service such systems.

2> I'm thankful that I am able to sleep well through the nights, at least most of the time. I like snuggling up in our nice bed and dropping off to sleep rather quickly and sleeping through the night with only a couple of breaks to make my "little trip."

3> I'm thankful for the wonderful fall time of the year we've experienced this year. Not always do we have such color, so many warm days in November, and enough rain to make the winter wheat look nice and green. The only thing I don't like about the fall is that winter will soon be here, but again I don't need to be out in the cold weather much anymore so that makes it not so bad.

I give you this little song which we learned at Fisherfolk Community in Woodland Park, CO many years ago. The first line is the starter then many verses can be added by supplying your the thing for which you are thankful. Wish I could give you the music, but here are the lyrics anyway.

Thank you Lord for this fine day, thank you Lord for this fine day, thank you Lord for this fine day, right where we are. Hallelujah praise the Lord, Hallelujah praise the Lord, Hallelujah praise the Lord, right where we are.

Supply your thing for this fine day and you can go on and on.
