I think a thankful heart is key to a happy life.  I do try to count my blessings daily.  I know that I am blessed and that God is watching over me everyday.  I have seen the grains of gratitude posts around blogville and can’t remember if I have ever done this before, but I think it is a good thing to start.

1.  I’m grateful for a warm comfortable home to live in with my family. After the  week without electricity in December, it is so wonderful to have lights that turn on and a refrigerator that is cold… not to mention water that runs!  All blessings that I know I tend to take for granted.  Thank you God.

2.  I’m grateful for my four children.  They are all blessings.  Thank you God.

3.  I’m grateful for my husband.  He has always worked very hard enabling me to be a SAHM and student at times.  He is a blessing and he loves me very much.  Thank you God.

4.  I’m grateful for a church family that I look forward to attending.  The sermons from the pulpit are encouraging and convicting, the people are faith filled and very loving.  Thank you God.

5.  I’m grateful for parents who love me so much.  They are a blessing.  Thank you God.

6.  I’m grateful for wonderful friends, both seen and unseen who encourage, strengthen, show love and support.  They are all a blessing.  Thank you God.

7.  I’m grateful for you.  Thank you God
