I Am 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 too much e-mail, because it means I have friends who are
thinking of me.
