Gratefulness List

Thursday I took a day off work to have a retreat day.  Early that morning I received a text from a friend that said something along the lines of those that remember the blessings they have have a better life.  (sorry really bad paraphrase).  But she recommended creating a gratefulness journal.  Since I was on my way to a coffee shop to meet a friend I decided to start naming all the things I am thankful for.  Here are just a few things I wrote down:

• Family
• Friends - near and far (I have friends on almost every continent I could go visit)
• Mug N a Muffin
• Leadership at Grace (especially after today!)
• Good conversations with friends
• A cool day by the lake (which is where I was writing this)
• The word of God, living and active
• My Faith Family - brothers and sisters in Christ
• The "crazy aunts" and "weird uncles" I have at Grace
• Friends that love me enough to speak truth into my life
• God uses unlikely leaders to do great things for His name (Judges)
• His mercies are new every morning

The question is what are you grateful for?
