Well, I've decided I'm going to go ahead and do this here - primarily because if I don't do it here, I'll forget to do it at all. And since I was recently exhorted to cultivate an attitude of thankfulness, it seemed appropriate. So here goes.
1. The dark times of life, that let us see God's grace more abundantly.
2. The overwhelming gift of knowing my Lord, Jesus Christ.
3. The cleansing of conscience.
4. God. There are too many perfections in Him to be looked at separately; I am thankful - infinitely thankful - for just Who He is.
5. The beauty of the night sky on a cold winter night.
6. Autumn leaves.
7. The smell of woodsmoke.
8. The roar of the ocean and the scream of gulls and the feel of sand.
9. Sweaters and tea on rainy days.
10. Birdsong.
11. Frost.
12. A pale blue autumn sky.
13. Berries on my dogwood outside.
14. The crunch of dry leaves underfoot.
15. The knowledge that all this beauty is a mere shadow of what is to come.
