A Spirit of Thankfulness

Tomorrow is Thanksgiving, a time where we pause to give thanks for the many blessings God has given us and stuff ourselves with turkey and pumpkin pie.
 
Ephesians 5:20 (NLT) commands us to “…give thanks for everything to God the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.”
 
But let’s face it, some years we don’t feel very thankful. If you’re in a difficult season of life right now you may be scraping the bottom of the barrel in search of just one thing for which to be thankful.
 
Whether you’re overflowing with thankfulness or scraping the bottom of the barrel I have a little something fun for us to do. Many times when asked what we’re thankful for our default answer is: God, family, and friends. While I’m incredibly thankful for each of these things, I wanted to get a little more creative and lighthearted.
 
Going through the alphabet – as quickly as possible – here are some fun, random, and maybe silly things I’m thankful for:
 
Apples
Books
Cowboy boots
Dogs
Elephant trunks
Flowers
Goats
Helium
Ice cream
Jewels
Kangaroo pouches
Lanterns
Moroccan mint tea
Night skies
Ovens
Pigs
Quilts
Roses
Silk scarves
Tunnels
Underwear
Velcro
Words
X-rays
Yodeling
Zebras
 
It’s your turn! What are you thankful for? If you make your own list, please share it with us!
 
Happy Thanksgiving, friends.
