God has given us much. We all have countless reasons to be thankful in every circumstance. Here are some specifics:
Something Functional in my house that I'm thankful for is:
My washer and dryer. Thank God for washers and dryers.
Something about my body that I'm thankful for is:
The way it tells me when I'm too stressed out. Trust me, my body knows and lets me know pretty quickly. I'm also thankful that God gave me a body that responds so positively to music. It works better than any drug at aleviating the stress.
Also, my sense of taste. I've been especially thankful for taste with this 2nd trimester business. :)
Something hard that I've been through that I'm thankful for is:
Moving away from home and readjusting somewhere else. Being away from my family is never easy, but I am so thankful for what I've learned from it and how I've grown and changed. I also met my husband here so I can't complain!
Something about this country that I'm thankful for is:
It's diversity. We have a diverse group of people calling this country home and I love that in a 5 mile radius from my house I can find restaurants making food from all over the globe.
Something about 2008 that I'm thankful for is:
The gift of this life growing inside me. I'm thankful that God would let us be a part of such an amazing miracle.

If we didn't have God to thank, it would be a pretty empty day...
Here's a piece I penned this week thinking about waiting until Thanksgiving to be grateful....
Ok thanksgiving is an interesting word.
Is it a noun, adjective or even a verb?
A day to “Give Thanks” they say.
But they end up just words in the spillway.
Is this my new form of Holiday bahumbug?
No, climb out of this cultural hole we dug
And create a passion to really appreciate.
Just toss out the turkey and crumb cakes.
I would ask you to join a new force.
Where your passion is the real source.
Give thanks to the gifts you have daily
Actually try to live life joyful and smiley.
I for one is the luckiest old fart that I know
Sure life is cluttered with daily sorrow
But I look and find for the joy everywhere
Then I smile to myself, so please… don’t stare.
I’m just giving thanks.
peace and Happy Thanksgiving....Dave Schipper
