I'm starting the Thanksgiving holiday a little early. Unfortunatly, Thanksgiving is often overwhelmed by Christmas and the grateful attitude we should take is pushed aside while we are not so subtley suggesting gift ideas to every relative we know. I'm worse than most, check my amazon wishlists (I have five of them). Anyway, I wanted to take a moment to make a list of things I'm most thankful for. So, in no perticular order, here it is:

I'm thankful for...

1. My house. It isn't perfect, but its mine, and I'm very happy to have it.

2. My Job. Without it, how would I pay for my house?

3. My wife. She's a great wife.

4. My Son. Sometimes I'm not so thankful for him, but he's the best kid I've ever had and he loves me.

5. My parents. They still buy me food sometimes, and they babysit. What more could I ask for?

6. My siblings. I have a lot of them and I'm glad. They're all a lot of fun.

7. My Country. Its not perfect, but living in the USA has its perks, and I wouldn't want to be anywhere else.

8. Jesus Christ. Even though I willingly rebelled against God he sent Jesus, who took the punishment that I deserved and because of his scarifice I know that should I die today that I would not face judgement for my sins. Without Jesus, I would be going to He11.

That's my list, and if I wanted to be cheesy I could add a whole lot more (like video games, and food, and such), but I wont. Anyway, I feel very fortunate to be where I am today and am glad we have this holiday to remind me how fourtunate I really am. I hope you all can find things to be thankful for in your own lives.
