How "thankful" are we?

What am I thankful for...???? I am thankful for my wonderful daughters who make me so proud to be thier mom....for my husband who works so hard so I don't have to......that my cats are getting fixed on Monday.....for my new denim couches......for yummy, soft pajamas....for Starbucks!!!!......for friends who make me laugh.....for Sue, who gives me great highlights(in my hair).....for great hair, thanks, mom.......for my drama kids, they're great.......to Chris and Jacob who are in Fallujah......for President Bush......for my cool truck with cool make-out lights......
You're right, those thing are pretty shallow, huh??? It's easy to come off shallow when we are as blessed as we are, or I am....I mean, really, I've never gone hungry, I wrap up when I'm cold, I pray when I'm scared, I don't know what it means to go without.....I'm blessed, I guess. May I never take the important thing for granted, for that would be a travesty. We do have so much to be grateful for in this country and I am proud to say that I am an American. I am thankful that I can worship God in my church or in my home without any fear....I am thankful that God has a plan for my life....thank you for your salvation, for your grace, Father...thank you, pioneers for seeking a better way of life, for we are heirs to that legacy....
I Thessalonians 5:18-"...in everything give thanks; for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus.
