Things I'm thankful for today:

* Songs of praise to God (I enjoy "Doxology" by Sandi Patty)
* Jobs to do, like vacuuming and baking
* Chocolate cake (I mustn't let it burn)
* Joel and Charity are coming here tonight!
* Cool air (AC, though it's not overly hot outside, either)
* Birds (we can see more from our back yard here, because there are more trees)
* Bible reading and family to enjoy it with
* My own little room (though I enjoyed sharing a room with my sister, too)
* New furniture and tools
* A greater sense of purpose

Thank you, God!

What are you thankful for today? Even if you aren't having a good day, there must be something you can think of that is good. :) In fact, we should even be happy for the trials we go through (easier said than done, I know)!

My brethren, count it all joy when you fall into various trials, knowing that the testing of your faith produces patience. - James 1:2-3
