For example, where was the post about Thanksgiving? In my head, where I spend way too much time, the post was already written and pushed live. In bold letters it would read, "Happy Thanksgiving." In the body of the post, as I imagined, it would contain all the many wonders of what I was thankful for. It would start with giving thanks to God for the "big" things
I am thankful for:
- God loving me and sending his Son, Jesus Christ, to die for my sins
- forgiveness
- grace and mercy
- God giving me a beautiful family
- God restoring my life
- safety and protection while we sleep
- my wife and children
- waking up my family
- health and strength
- peace of mind
- finances and a job
- a roof over my head
- clothes on my back
- food on the table, especially the ham and turkey
- friends, make that good friends
In my mind this type of post was already written and posted. Yet, sadly I look at my sight and realize that I never moved my list from my head to the actual keys and then to the blog. Surely, I thought I had written about my thanks for what my kids call silly things, such as:
- White Chocolate Mocha
- Starbucks fresh brewed coffee
- weekend dates with my wife
- quiet time in the office in the morning
- the treadmill being repaired with a quick shot of WD-40
- Coldstone's cotton candy milkshake
- Chickfil-A and the chicken sandwich
- losing weight
- having a truck that, though it is well worn, continues to get me around
- cookies and milk on late night sweet tooth episodes
If I was feeling particularly good, the post may have included thanks for the less obvious things, such as:
- trials and tribulations
- challenges and failures
Somehow in all the thinking and mental hoops I never posted my list. Somehow I never actually got around to pushing anything live since November 19th. Well, here is one post to hopefully get the ball rolling. Happy Thanksgiving and then some.
What are you most thankful for?
