always thankful (even after thanksgiving)

near where we live, the less fortunate are hired to sell newspapers on the street corners to provide them with a little bit of income. thanksgiving day, we stopped to buy a newspaper, not because we needed it, or even wanted it, but simply because we knew it would help that person out. 

little moments like that make me feel better about myself as a person, and remind me of how much i have to be grateful for. some days stink! some days really stink! but i can't think of a moment in my life that has stunk any worse than the thought of waking up tomorrow and having to sell newspapers on a street corner to get my next meal. 

thank you Lord for everything you have given me. and even if some days i seem a little ungrateful, i thank you for those moments that bring me back to reality. 

my ABC's of thanks...

last week, i saw this abc's of thanks over at finding joy, and although i didn't get a chance to participate then, i still wanted to do it. 

what are you thankful for?
