INSPIRATIONAL PAGES

I AM THANKFUL

I am thankful...

For the taxes that I pay,

Because it means that I am employed.

For the mess to clean after a party,

Because it means that I have been surrounded by family and friends.

For the clothes that fit a little too snug,

Because it means I have enough to eat.

For a lawn that needs mowing, windows that need cleaning, and gutters that need fixing,

Because it means I have a home.

For all the complaining I hear about the government,

Because it means that we have freedom of speech.

For the parking spot I find at the far end of the parking lot,

Because it means I am capable of walking and that I have been blessed with transportation.

For my huge heating bill,

Because it means I am warm.

For the lady behind me in church that sings off key,

Because it means that I can hear.

For the pile of laundry and ironing,

Because it means I have clothes to wear.

For weariness and aching muscles at the end of the day,

Because it means I have been capable of working hard.

For the alarm that goes off in the morning ,

Because it means that I am alive.

And finally....... For too much e-mail,

Because it means I have friends who are thinking of me.
