Thank you God for;
Little brothers who keep life interesting
Older sisters that keep us in line
Good health
Soldiers who put up with ungrateful citizens
Forefathers who knew a little about sacrifice
Pain... that brings us to our senses
Old, beaten up cars that are just perfect for unreliable teenagers
Forgiveness
Brothers and sisters in Christ, who become close friends in a few days
Protective fathers
Courageous mothers
Music, that lifts and inspires
Dial-up internet… to teach us anger management
The Bible
Mornings… in which your mercies are ever new
True love; love that knows sacrifice
Unheated bedrooms, that make us tough
Homeschooling
Dance teachers who love You
New opportunities and challenges
Math... that we may learn to work through problems, even through the tears
War, and turmoil, and unrest… that we may never take life and prosperity for granted
Godly politicians
The strength to be different
Skirts, and dresses, and fun yet modest clothes
Messes and junk to teach us how to clean!
Patriotism that never dies
Rain and rainbows
Christian filmmakers
Gentleman… and gentle ladies
The beauty and perfection of the universe
Your never ending grace and pardon
May we never fail to give God all the glory and praise for our many blessings...

Wonderful post, Jennifer. We truly do have so many things to be grateful for!
Thank you for reminding me of all the wonderful things I have!
Amen Jennifer!
We have SO much to be thankful for!
Happy Thanksgiving!

That was definately food for thought.
Another thing that I believe we should be thankful for is our religious freedom. In many nations around the world, our brothers in sisters in Christ face arrest, torture and even death for choosing to follow Him. We need to remember them in prayer(see Hebrews 13:3).
I started to try to do this, too, and it is one of the most humbling and gratitude-inducing things you will ever attempt. You did a good job--with a touch of humor and noting that we should even be thankful for our trials (I loved the dial-up internet reference), but the list really could've been much, much longer (or more-detailed, anyways). We really do have an awful, awful amount to be thankful for.
Now that we are past Thanksgiving, we enter the Christmas season (another good time to be thankful). I'm sure you all know: there is a battle over Christmas going on right now, and I and four others (so far) have a blog going called "The Christmas Watch" (thechristmaswatch.blogspot.com) to monitor this battle. You all are welcomed to become teammembers--we need as many as we can get to keep it complete and comprehensive!

So true, Jen... Thanks for the reminders!
