Sometimes I think we forget, far too often, to be thankful for small things.

Not that we intend to. It’s just, in the rush of the day, we let other things become more important, even though they’re not.

Here’s some things I was thankful for today.

A talented wife.

Helpful friends.

A low blood-pressure reading this morning.

My wife’s cat.

It didn’t even take me 30 seconds to come up with those four. Of course, I could have rattled off more than a dozen problems today, in a similar amount of time. But to what end?

Sometimes it’s better to be thankful for the good things than grumbling about the crud in our lives. It’s certainly more peaceful and serene.

Here’s another thing I’m about to be thankful for: an earlier than normal bedtime. (Shut-eye before 1 a.m. is an improvement!)

Sleep well, all. And dream up some things to be thankful for. Adonai’s waiting to hear from you.
