Thankful For :: 971 - 980

"To be grateful is to recognize the Love of God in everything He has given us - and He has given us everything. Every breath we draw is a gift of His love, every moment of existence is a grace, for it brings with it immense graces from Him. Gratitude therefore takes nothing for granted, is never unresponsive, is constantly awakening to new wonder and to praise of the goodness of God. For the grateful person knows that God is good, not by hearsay but by experience. And that is what makes all the difference." {Thomas Merton}

972. Ibuprofen - for those pain-in-the-neck days

973. Clean sheets

974. The experience of living overseas

975. Encouraging blog comments

976. Great co-workers (both former, and current)

977. Early morning quiet times

978. New kitchen towels

979. A husband who isn't afraid to tell it like it is

980. Air-conditioning on hot summer days
