What makes you grateful?

[riptides]

Being the first one to plunge a knife into a new jar of peanut butter or a new jar of mayo.

Hah! Now that we broke the ice and got all the big things out of the way....

Watching the sun sets over my properties...
Being able to wake up at o dark 3:30 and go to a job....
Still have the abilities to pop open a beer or twist off a cap....
Smelling fresh cut grass, knowing in an hour I'll be wheezing from it....
Hearing the cows in the distance...and an owl even closer...when no one else does...

FlaMom for starting this thread that has us all counting our blessings...

My wife "who loves me like Jesus" to quote a popular song, and has/is nursed/ing me through assorted injuries and illnesses... including the current one.

My orthopedic surgeons, one who saved my life and leg from cancer when I was 19 y/o and the other who saved me from the infection in my knee replacement, and will hopefully be putting in another one in a few more weeks....

Which leads to: still having a life and all the limbs necessary to make the best of it...

All the rest of the family, who are also always there for me and each other...

For my dog, who loves me even when I get frustrated with her lack of understanding English...

Our log house in the woods by the pond, where every day feels like a cabin at summer camp... (unfortunately some times I have to be a counselor or the maintenance guy )...

Having a steady job, in a career I chose, helping people, even when it's not the help they think they need...

Living in a country (if not a state) that is still free, with the liberty to say what I think, do what pleases me, own what I like (mostly), and protect my home and loved ones there....

ALL the other blessings I have from GOD, especially those that I take for granted all too often....

Hope upcoming knee replacement goes smoothly and you'll be back on the tractor soon afterward.

:thumbsup:

Being in good health, having my folks in good health being happy, planning a move north, to be closer to friends eventually.

For all of my TBN brothers and sisters who recognize that we couldn't do this on our own... Those with the courage to thank God, and understand that we simply do not understand everything.

After reading of Shield Arc's woes with his neighbor, I am grateful for most of my neighbors!

This:

Romans 10:9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
