These two top my list!
I challenged myself in September to say "I'm Thankful for..." prayers. To read the post, click here. I did well for awhile, then I slunk back into my normal habits of always needing.
On Sunday, the speaker related ingratitude to 'a hog hungrily eating acorns at the base of a tree without looking up to see where the acorns were coming from.' In my mind that picture just clicked. So often, I am a hog. I eat and eat, and continue to eat. But, what if the acorns stopped coming, only then would I think to look from where they came and squeal in protest for more.
I am going to try more fervently this time, to show real gratitude and appreciation for all my blessings.
What are you thankful for?

ok. it's getting outta control now.
12 (and 2 halves) blessings, my family!
YOU! and your sisters and hubbies and kids and my new chair...thank you... the land in which we live and the gospel. Thanks for the reminder.
