Counting My Blessings

1.  I am thankful today for each breath that I breathe.  Every day that I live is a gift from God.

2.  I am thankful today for each step that I take.  My health is a blessing I won’t take for granted.

3.  I am thankful today for the bride of my youth.  She has stood by me for 12 years, and I know that without her by my side, life would not be as blessed or fulfilled.

4,  I am thankful today for my children.  They bring me joy beyond measure.

5.  I am thankful today for my parents.  They are the reason that I am who I am today.

6.  I am thankful today for my extended family.  Though we may not be together all that often, the support of your prayers and the knowledge of your care gives me a confidence to face the world knowing that someone has my back.

7.  I am thankful today for my place of employment.  To be able to work at something that I love; that is a gift too few experience.

8.  I am thankful today for my community of believers.  To know that I am not alone in this life of faith, but that I am supported by so many others enables me to believe for greater things than I would ever believe for alone.

9.  I am thankful today for the daily provisions of my heavenly Father.  My needs have been met, I have never known want.

10.  I am thankful today for Jesus.  He sought me when I was far from him.  He loved me when I was yet in sin.  He bought me by his blood outpoured.  He saved me, and now I’ve made Him Lord.
