How many different things can you think of for which you are thankful? How easily do they occur to you?

For a second year, I’ve posted things I’m thankful for in daily Facebook posts throughout November. Today, I offer the complete list to you, in the hope of causing you to remember the things for which you are thankful, too.

Here is my month of thanksgiving:

• Day 1 – Thankful for God’s sovereignty in the world…and in my life.

• Day 2 – Thankful that God is faithful even when I am not ( not proud of that last part!).

• Day 3 – Thankful for Christ’s substitutionary sacrifice that redeemed my life. He did what I could not do for myself!

• Day 4 – Thankful that the Lord is my shepherd, because this sheep definitely needs her shepherd!

• Day 5 – Thankful for this great nation and for the privilege of voting. We may not be perfect, but whatever her problems, it’s still a blessing to live in the USA!

• Day 6 – Thankful for the privilege of teaching God’s Word.

• Day 7 – Thankful for encouraging words, smiles, and hugs!

• Day 8 – Thankful that our salvation is not found in any political party. Regardless of who is in the White House, God is on His throne!

• Day 9 – Thankful for food in the pantry, clothes in the closet, and a roof over my head. Jesus taught us to pray for our daily needs, but I have more than what I need just for today!

• Day 10 – Thankful for God’s promise of the rainbow. Now we see it in part – someday we’ll see the whole glorious circle around the throne!

• Day 11 – Thankful for those who fought and died to protect my liberty. Freedom is never free.

• Day 12 – Thankful for the privilege of serving with women who love the Lord. Hearts with a shared purpose are hearts that bring joy!

• Day 13 – Thankful for the gift of health. Let everything that has breath praise the Lord!

• Day 14 – Thankful for the gift of friendship – a gift to give and to cherish.

• Day 15 – Thankful for the convenience of technology…even though it doesn’t always work and I don’t always understand it.

• Day 16 – Thankful for the peace that passes all understanding in a world filled with anxiety and strife.

• Day 17 – Thankful to be part of a church that preaches the gospel, encourages God’s people, and reaches out to the hurting. Also thankful for past pastors and churches who have blessed me with discipleship!

• Day 18 – Thankful for the joy that comes from knowing I belong to the Lord. I can call God my heavenly Father because Jesus is my Savior.

• Day 19 – Thankful my heavenly Father has more patience with me than I have with others. (Not proud of that one!)

• Day 20 – Thankful that Christmas is only five weeks away…and for the anticipation of celebrating the birth of the Savior!

• Day 21 – Thankful for the freedom we have to worship the One from whom all blessings flow!

• Day 22 – Thankful for the gift of forgiveness – a gift to give and receive.

• Day 23 – Thankful for a heavenly Father who knows my needs before I do and meets them in His abundant provision!

• Day 24 – Thankful for the gift of fellowship. Hearts knit together, minds of one accord, spirits united. Truly a gift!

• Day 25 – Thankful for the power of a smile – no matter what language we speak, it’s something we all understand.

• Day 26 – Thankful for my wonderful husband – whose birthday just happens to be today! God has used him in my life to demonstrate the reality of unconditional love.

• Day 27 – Thankful that Christmas is only four weeks away. Four weeks to enjoy the music and decorations that commemorate the incredible Gift sent to us by the Father.

• Day 28 – Thankful for the gift of sight…physical AND spiritual!

• Day 29 – Thankful for the written Word…and the Living Word!

• Day 30 – Thankful for grace – oceans of undeserved blessings!

So much to be thankful for – so little time!
