I have so much to be thankful for these days. Here are just a few of the things I’m thankful for this week.
1. The cool weather. I’m really appreciating the rain and 80 degree weather after that run of 100 degree days a couple of weeks ago.
2. My husband’s work ethic. Sales have not been good for him since he started his new job, but he keeps plugging away without complaining.
3. That we’ve all been healthy this summer. It’s scary being without health insurance, and I’m glad we haven’t had to go to the doctor, or worse, the emergency room.
4. Dave Ramsey. I’ve been listening to his podcast every morning. It’s really keeping me motivated to stay on course to becoming debt free.
5. Our local fruit stand. It’s wonderful to taste the fresh fruits and vegetables that are now in season.
6. The neighbor boy. It’s nice that my son can run around outside with a friend anytime he likes.
7. The internet. It really makes things like staying connected to friends, paying bills, and doing research much easier. Plus it gives me a creative outlet in my blogs.
8. Quiet mornings. I’ve been walking every morning. It’s nice to get some exercise in the fresh air. The sun comes out early, and it’s not too hot or too cold. I can just enjoy the crisp, cool air and gather my thoughts.
9. That my children are getting along. Enough said.
10. That my desk is decluttered at the moment. I can actually find everything.
11. Worship music. I’ve had How Can I Keep From Singing by Chris Tomlin in my head for days now.
12. God’s promise to never leave me nor forsake me.
13. My online friends who are always there, whether I need to laugh, cry, or just have some adult "conversation" in the middle of the day.

Your comment about your husband’s work ethic made me smile—my husband is the same way. I pray sales pick up soon!
I’ve heard of Dave Ramsey, I think that is who my friend raves about.
Thanks for sharing your list!
Blessings~

Fabulous list. Wish my desk were organized, but I’m with you on the fresh fruit and cooler weather, as least for a few days!

Wonderful list! Keep moving ahead in the debt free column- we recently became debt free and it’s like a huge weight that Satan can no longer hold over us. I was listening to Chris Tomlin yesterday and reminded myself of that song - it’s true - How can I keep from singing? The Lord just makes me want to shout and sing! Have a blessed day!

Thanks for sharing. I love the mornings too. There’s nothing like fresh fruit. Yum! Chris Tomlin was in Australia at the conference we attended. He’s great. Blessings on your day.
