What I am Grateful For…

It’s amazing how we take things for granted these days. I was listening to this pastor at Bethleham Baptist Church and he mentioned how some people are lucky to go through life with no accidents, or no long illness. Here are the things I am grateful for:

*I have great friends

*I have a loving family

*I am healthy

*I have control over all my limbs; I can speak; I can see, and I can hear

*Even though my dad isn’t the kind of dad that would all of a sudden wants to play catch, I still have a dad nonetheless. I would also add that I have both parents still together after 30+ years.

*I have food on the table

Also, there are lots of things I have that not many people can claim to have. I mean, in my dorm room alone, I have over thousands of dollars worth of stuff. I’m not bragging, but think about how rich I look in the eyes of the starving, poor, and those who have nothing to look forward to when they wake up. When I wake up, I can look forward to running water, food that is well-prepared, television, and the internet. I know some people complain about not getting what they want, but look at it on the other side of the coin. You should appreciate what you have now because you could end up like those you see on those commercials. I always view something in perspective. I am very thankful I have what I have. I hope you all feel the same.
