Thankful

Today, I'm going to be thankful. I am going to slow down and appreciate all the blessings in my life. I am going to smile more at people. I am going to be patient with everyone. I am going to enjoy the fall leaves, and all their color. I am going to enjoy every sip of good quality coffee. I am going to relish the time that I had at breakfast with my family this morning, laughing at Tucker as he hammed it up for all the people around us. I am going to enjoy the beautiful weather, and be thankful for the rain this past week. I am going to play with my dogs. I am going to appreciate my health, and the health of my family. I am going to thank God for His goodness and mercy. I am going to read some, and be grateful for the ability to enjoy a good book. I am going to play music, and be thankful for the gift of sound and music. I'm going to enjoy family, good food and football. I am going to talk to someone about Christ today. I will slow down a little and take in the beauty of creation, and let it speak to my soul. I will take some time to think of those who have impacted my life, and remember those who have gone on to be with the Lord, and thank Him for their legacy of love. I will prepare my heart for corporate worship tomorrow, and yearn to see friends, family, and brothers and sisters in Christ eager to meet with Him there. I am going to cherish my wife, and let her know how much she means to me. I am going to sit here and appreciate the smell of a coffee shop, as the aroma fills this room. I am going to thank God for America, and the freedoms we have here. I am going to love more. I am going to serve more. I am going to live more. And I will be thankful...
