It's November and the election is over. For that I am thankful, even though my choice did not win. So in the spirit of thanks, here are a list of things that I am extremely thankful for.
1. God's grace
2. That I have a voice in elections
3. Godly parents
4. Godly husband
5. Good kids who grew up to be good adults
6. Church family, several of them
7. Cooler weather
8. Answered prayer
9. Unanswered prayer
10. Football
11. Hamburgers
12. Pets
13. A good job
14. A vehicle that runs well
15. A roof over my head
16. Writer friends who are as crazy as I am
17. Imagination
18. An "off" button on the TV
19. Books
20. God's grace
You'll notice that #1 and #20 are the same. Without that, everything else is pointless.
Count your blessings. You have many. The more time you spend counting your blessings, the less time you have to gripe about the unimportant stuff.
Happy Thanksgiving and hug your family tight; even the ones you may not particularly get along with.

I like your list and your encouragement! Numbers 1 and 20 should always be what they are!
I have two requests:
(1)Check out my new and improved blog (same address, new look)?
(2)Add a picture to your profile?
Pretty please? With Bacon Bits on top?
Thanks and God bless!
Okay, Myrthman, I added my picture. Although why you'd want to scare people away from your blog is beyond me . . .
