Well I rather hope this still counts - even if I'm not posting daily I
should still end up with 30 thankful things. Of course that won't
cover all in my life to be thankful for but hopefully it will put me in
an attitude of thankfulness.
For Day 5 - I am thankful for daylight in the mornings when I take kids to school. It makes bus route so much easier when it is light outside. Even though I know where all my stops are it is difficult to see them in the pitch black - and even worse when it is raining. So...much as I dislike daylight savings time I really really appreciate the daylight in the early morning hours. Actually....I've always liked early morning daylight. I remember way back when I was little - like 4th grade and we lived in Ethiopia we lived outside a little village on a mission compound. The house was tiny - only had 2 bedrooms and no indoor choo. I originally slept on a cot in the living room - the windows faced east. I remember waking up early when the sun came up shining in - usually being the first or maybe the second one awake after Dad. That first peek of daylight. Makes me think of the Scripture that says "His mercies are new every morning".
For Day 6 - I am thankful for the freedom we have in this country. Today we have the freedom and the privilege to vote for the people of our choice to govern. They are not perfect people by any stretch of the imagination and I won't agree with many of their decisions. But in this country we have freedoms that many many people in the world do not enjoy. And for that I am thankful.
