Be Ye Thankful

And let them sacrifice the sacrifices of thanksgiving, and declare his works with rejoicing. - Psalms 107:22

And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to the which also ye are called in one body; and be ye thankful. - Colossians 3:15

I am thankful...

For the teenager who is complaining about doing dishes
Because that means she is at home & not on the streets

For the taxes that I pay,
Because it means that I am employed.

For the mess to clean after a party,
Because it means that I have been surrounded by friends.

For the clothes that fit a little too snug,
Because it means I have enough to eat.

For my shadow that watches me work,
Because it means I am out in the sunshine.

For a lawn that needs mowing, windows that need cleaning,
And gutters that need fixing, because it means I have a home.

For all the complaining I hear about the government,
Because it means that we have freedom of speech.

For the parking spot I find at the far end of the parking lot,
Because it means I am capable of walking and that I have been
blessed with transportation

For my huge heating bill,
Because it means I am warm.

For the lady behind me in church that sings off key,
Because it means that I can hear.

For the pile of laundry and ironing,
Because it means I have clothes to wear.

For weariness and aching muscles at the end of the day,
Because it means I have been capable of working hard.

For the alarm that goes of in the early morning hours,
Because it means that I am alive.

For too much e-mail,
Because it means I have friends who are thinking of me.
