What a wonderful list! Reminds me of a song we used to sing at the Baptist church (It was about counting blessings), and my mom who says when she can't sleep she counts the things she's thankful for.
I love the little things you threw in like "straws", "flip flops" and "tweezers" as well as the biggies like "the Bible", "hope", and "forgiveness".
Hope you're feeling better!
camaras? laptops? chocolate? minibikes and 4-wheelers? what a material world we live in. So sad.
Inspiring list. I miss thunderstorms and a shoulder to cry on. I'm with Martha's mom on counting your blessings!
It's okay to be thankful for material things just so long as we don't worship them and continue to be thankful when those items are no longer around.
Martha, you are soooo much more tactful than I am. Amen!!
I like the list very much! Keep counting!
I'm thankful for a lot of that stuff too! Great list!
Thank you Martha. :)
I am back again (followed an old link) to read a list of gratitude. #50 made me smile. The porch is still waiting. :)
PS. I miss your old blog. It's nice to find it's still here.
