I am Thankful

There are so many things in life that we all take for granted each and every day. Well sometimes I like to stop and say thank you. Thank you, Lord, for everything that you have given me....

Thank you for my expensive internet bill, which allows me to share my thoughts on blog sites with the world.

Thank you for getting in stupid fights with my friends because it makes me remember that I have people that love me enough to point out when something I do is wrong.

Thank you for the dirty dishes in my sink that need washing, because it means I have food to eat.

Thank you for the pile of dirty clothes laying in the laundry room floor, because it means I have clothes to wear.

Thank you for the mother that complains when I start to slack off, because it means I have a mother that wants the best for me.

Thank you for all the pain that us girls have to endure once a month, because it means that I'm not another statistic.

Thank you for gutters that need cleaning, the lawn that needs mowing, and the railing that need to be painted, because it means that I have a roof over my head.

Thank you for my teachers that grade so hard, because it means I have the right to an education.

Thank you for our cars that need washing, because it means we have a way of transportation.

Thank you for the police officers that give you a ticket for driving 2 miles above the speed limit, because it means that I have law enforcement to keep me safe.

Thank you for my glasses that fall off all the time, because it means that I have eyes that let me see the changing world.

Thank you for the doctors that overcharge for everything, because it means I have medical care.

Thank you for my loud alarm clock, because it, along with you Lord, wake me up every day and let me live my life for you with my friends, my family, my teachers, and everything else in this world.

I guess what I'm trying to say is, thank you Lord for everything that You have given me in this world; and thank you mostly for my life, which you are the ultimate creator of.
