Thankful

A year ago today, I did a ABC’s of Thankfulness post and I thought this would be really fitting to do again since life has been a little crazy lately. The post originally came from a sermon Max preached on the ABC’s of Gratitude and giving God thanks for things in our life (big and small). I loved it so much that I came home and made my own list. I really wanted to share this with all of you because I think its a great tool to turn our attitudes around on “bad days” and just meditate on all things God has blessed us with that we can be thankful for in life. Here is my new list below and feel free to link up your own in the comments. I would love to read your list and just share in being thankful!
ABC's of Thankfulness - What are you thankful for today?
A
Anniversaries 🙂 Kevin and I just booked a night at the hotel we got engaged at for our 3rd.
B
Brisket. It is super yummy – just saying.
C

E
Electricity. You don’t realize how much you depend on it till its out for a few hours.
F
French fries. They are my jam.
G
Glasses. You never realize how much you love them til someone steals them 🙂
H
Home. I love our house.
I
Ice. Ice. Baby.
J
Journaling.
K

L
Listening to music.
M
Movies. I am a big movie watcher. Just so relaxing to sit on the couch.
N

O

P
PTL. Passion Tea Lemonade. Thanks to Jackie for improving my life.

    This is such an easy way to make us stop and realize just a few things that we are thankful for. What a great idea.

    Love this idea! May I borrow it for a blog post, too? It’s so easy to get wrapped up in the world that we oftentimes stop thanking God for the little things. Thank YOU for reminding us to be thankful! 🙂
