Day 330: Thankful

I love that today is a day of thankfulness and gratitude. It's so easy for us to express our discontent and frustrations, and it doesn't always feel natural for us to express thanksgivings.

I'm thankful for so many things today. For a wonderful family, willing to put up with me for yet another year at home. For a job, with good people, when so many cannot find work. For health and life, in the midst of a fallen world full of despair and illness and cancer. For the love that I feel around me every day, from my family and friends. For the goodness of God, even in times of hardship and frustration and pain.
