Thankful Thursday: My Top 10 Thanks Today!

Ungrateful.  J. C. Ryle's "Do You Pray?" pricked my conscience.  I don't thank God sufficiently for the multitude of mundane manifestations of His goodness which He pours out upon my life daily.  Do I suppose these everyday events are not spectacular enough to mention?  Yes. And I have become blasé about His blessings.
I've attempted these last few days since discovering my ingratitude, to open my eyes and heart to the Love of the Lord lavished upon me in ordinary ways.


My Top 10 Thanks Today:

1. A Husband of Integrity and industry. He rarely, if ever, misses a day of work, plows and shovels immediately after a snowfall, never complains about having to work hard, rises early, fixes things that break.
2. A Home to keep me warm and dry.
3. 8 years cancer-free.  I'm alive! And healthy. (Why me, Lord? Thank You.)
4. 14 pounds lost in the last 3 weeks.
5. A God Who hears my prayers and answers.
6. The freedom and privilege to be a Keeper at Home.
7. Returned energy after illness.
8. Appliances which still run after 17 years, and a furnace which still works after 25.
9. No major trials. (Maybe I should be praying for some.)
10. Sunshine and warmer weather this week.
