Be Thankful



I am thankful for the teenager who is not doing dishes but is watching t.v., because that means he is at home and not on the streets.

For the taxes that i pay, because it means that i am employed.

For the mess to clean after a party, because it means that i have been surrounded by friends.

For the clothes that fit a little too snug, because it means i have enough to eat.

For my shadow that watches me work, because it means i am out in the sunshine.

For a lawn that needs mowing, windows that need cleaning, and gutters that need fixing, because it means i have a home.

For all the complaining i hear about the government, because it means that we have freedom of speech.

For the parking spot i find at the far end of the parking lot, because it means i am capable of walking and that i have been blessed with transportation.

For my huge heating bill, because it means i am warm.

For the lady behind me in church that sings off key, because it means that i can hear.

For the pile of laundry and ironing, because it means i have clothes to wear.

For weariness and aching muscles at the end of the day, because it means i have been capable of working hard.

For the alarm that goes of in the early morning hours, because it means that i am alive.

And finally....... For this e-mail, because it means i have friends who are thinking of me.
