I am thankful for all of the things we take for granted: clean, running water; electricity & gas; the roof over our heads; our cars; education; an over-abundance of clothing, shoes, furniture, and blankets; and jobs! I think of people who have designer clothes, homes with more space than they know what to do with, and cars from high-end dealerships and no longer feel envious. I think of all the things we have and know that even though they may not be top-of-the-line things, they are still more than so many others in this world do not have. I am thankful for the luxury items we have but certainly don’t need.
And this…
…the beauty of nature all around us!
