Posted on by

It is a good thing to give thanks unto the LORD
and to sing praises unto Thy name, O most High:
To shew forth thy lovingkindness in the morning,
and thy faithfulness every night (Psalm 92:1-2).

I don’t know if the Thursday Thirteen meme will be going on Thanksgiving Day, but I am not sure when I might get to the computer that day, anyway, with the holiday happenings and rare occasion to have everyone at home all at one time. So today I want to post thirteen things I am thankful for.

1. God Himself, for all that He is and all that He does, and for all that He has done for me. I could make a lengthy list just from this alone. 🙂

2. My husband of almost 27 years, his kindness and patience and care.

3. My three children with their unique personalities and all the joy the have brought to my life.

4. My father, mother, step-father, brother, sisters, and extended family.

5. My country. America is not perfect and has its problems, but it is still the best place on earth, IMHO. 🙂

6. My home. I have been discontent with this particular house, but I am grateful for having a snug place to live and realize that by some standards this would be considered luxurious.

7. Seasons. I love that I live in a place where there is a definite and beautiful change from season to season.

8. Music. I love it. It uplifts, soothes, encourages, inspires…I can’t imagine life without it.

9. My church.

10 Christian friends.

11. Food, especially the accessibility and variety we have here.

12. Computers!

13. Books. The Best of books, the Bible, foremost, but also the many books I have read along the way (and still hope to read) that have taught, entertained, inspired, encouraged….I could go on and on. 🙂

You can see what other Thursday Thirteeners are up to here.

  4. Great list – I am totally with you on #6. We’re living in a cozy 1200 sq. ft. house, but truly need about 4000 to live in and run a business from too. Really makes you set priorities on what to save and what to keep! Glad I’m not a pack rat! Thanks for stopping by this morning, and Happy Thursday!

  8. Ditto, Ditto, Ditto. We all have much for which to be thankful. We need to show our thankfulness every day.
    Thanks for visiting my T13.

  9. A wonderful list… I enjoyed it a lot. Thanks for sharing!
    Too bad we don´t celebrate Thanksgiving like you do.

    Happy TT from Germany,
    S.
