I don't know if anyone else had already posted this, got it in an email, and thought I would share it with you all!

I AM THANKFUL

FOR THE WIFE
WHO SAYS IT'S HOT DOGS TONIGHT,
BECAUSE SHE IS HOME WITH ME,
AND NOT OUT WITH SOMEONE ELSE.

FOR THE HUSBAND
WHO IS ON THE SOFA
BEING A COUCH POTATO,
BECAUSE HE IS HOME WITH ME
AND NOT OUT AT THE BARS.

FOR THE TEENAGER
WHO IS COMPLAINING ABOUT DOING DISHES
BECAUSE THAT MEANS SHE IS AT HOME,
NOT ON THE STREETS.

FOR THE TAXES
THAT I PAY
BECAUSE IT MEANS THAT
I AM EMPLOYED.

FOR THE MESS
TO CLEAN AFTER A PARTY
BECAUSE IT MEANS THAT I HAVE
BEEN SURROUNDED BY FRIENDS.

FOR THE CLOTHES
THAT FIT A LITTLE TOO SNUG
BECAUSE IT MEANS
I HAVE ENOUGH TO EAT.

FOR MY SHADOW
THAT WATCHES ME WORK
BECAUSE IT MEANS
I AM OUT IN THE SUNSHINE.

FOR A LAWN
THAT NEEDS MOWING,
WINDOWS THAT NEED CLEANING,
AND GUTTERS THAT NEED FIXING
BECAUSE IT MEANS I HAVE A HOME.

FOR ALL THE COMPLAINING
I HEAR ABOUT THE GOVERNMENT
BECAUSE IT MEANS THAT
WE HAVE FREEDOM OF SPEECH.

FOR THE PARKING SPOT
I FIND AT THE FAR END OF THE PARKING LOT
BECAUSE IT MEANS I AM CAPABLE OF WALKING
AND THAT I HAVE BEEN
BLESSED WITH TRANSPORTATION.

FOR MY HUGE HEATING BILL
BECAUSE IT MEANS
I AM WARM.

FOR THE LADY
BEHIND ME IN CHURCH
THAT SINGS OFF KEY
BECAUSE IT MEANS
THAT I CAN HEAR.

FOR THE PILE
OF LAUNDRY AND IRONING
BECAUSE IT MEANS
I HAVE CLOTHES TO WEAR.

FOR WEARINESS
AND ACHING MUSCLES
AT THE END OF THE DAY
BECAUSE IT MEANS
I HAVE BEEN
CAPABLE OF WORKING HARD.

FOR THE ALARM
THAT GOES OFF
IN THE EARLY MORNING HOURS
BECAUSE IT MEANS THAT I AM ALIVE.

AND FINALLY...
FOR TOO MUCH E-MAIL
BECAUSE IT MEANS I HAVE
FRIENDS WHO ARE THINKING OF ME.

SEND THIS TO SOMEONE YOU CARE ABOUT

.... I JUST DID.

Sooooo true! Thanks for sharing it Jacki. Makes ya stop and think...

Thanks Jacki .

I am thankful for being on this great Earth.
Not where's that bird?!

Perfect!

Great post, Jacki. To add to that, I am thankful for being part of a great wx family here.

Me too

I'm getting in the mood for Thanksgiving, mmm Turkey

jacki...that's definitely the truth!

I'm so thankful for my family. I'm so thankful that I have God to talk to. I'm so thankful that it isn't this time last year when I was told I had cancer. Thankfully, it turned out to be a mistkaken cat scan, and I don't have it, but it was scary. I'm thankful every time I buy groceries; I know many who can't. I just wish I could make everyone happy and safe and end all wars forever.Call me a dreamer....

Thanks jacki. Those were great.

sunnyday, quit worrying about other people, relax and get some sleep.

It's been written : "God saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually" have you watched TV lately? Gen. 6:1-5. "Know this that in the last days men shall be UNTHANKFUL" 2 Tim. 3:1-2. Now this, "For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold (down) the truth is unrighteousness...Because when they knew God they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful" Rom 1:18-21.



Thanks Jacki.....it's SO nice seeing something like this in todays world because we have become a nation of ungrateful people who whine, complain about EVERYTHING! I have a GREAT deal to be thankful for and especially ALL my dear friends here at Storm2K!
