30 Days of Thankfulness (Day one)

As I was driving to the Southport Great Banquet #48 that Mom and I attended together last weekend, God prompted me to think about all of the things for which I am grateful. It's so easy to get caught up in the swirl of everyday life, the aches and pains that plague us, the betrayals that befall us, the frighteningly steep downturn of the economy. In getting caught up in those things, I forget to appreciate all with which I've been blessed. I remember to mention them when I pray, but I often forget to call them to mind during the hurry of daily life.

So God prompted me to start a daily record of thankfulness. My goal is to blog daily, each day recording one thing for which I am grateful. We'll see if I can keep it up. I have good intentions, but much like thankfulness, blogging often gets lost in the chaos that my family calls daily life.

So....

Day one: (I'll cheat and have two today)...I'm extremely grateful that I was able to swim laps for an hour today (the last 40 minutes consisted of repeated mental chanting of Philippians 4:13 )

I am also thankful that my children are obsessed with homophones right now and make me laugh when they stretch the English language to find homophones everywhere. :-)
