What am I thankful for?

Today I had the opportunity to attend church with one of my friends at the church she attends in Monmouth. It was very different atmosphere for me at I had never been to this denomination before and it was much smaller than I am used to at Salem Heights.
I find it amazing how God can work in such wonderful ways. Although I didn't love the worship, and I didn't feel a real connection to the way the preacher spoke and he had turned me off to what he had to say due to some political references about our President Elect; God still was able to reach me. The preacher emphasized being more thankful, more grateful and more content in our day to day lives.
I realized that all too often due to the stresses and burdens that are present in day to day life I forget to thank god daily for all of the blessings that I have in my life.

Today, November 9, 2009 I am thankful for many things:
* I am thankful that I live in a country that has the right to practice religion freely.
* That I have a warm bed to sleep in every night.
* That I have been able to attend college and I almost have my degree.
* That my parents are still married.
* That I have a job.

What are you thankful for today?
