Things I am Thankful for:
My freshly broken dishwasher, because it reminds me that a dishwasher is a marvelous luxury and that many people don't even have dishes.
My ear infection, because it reminds me how blessed I am to have health insurance.
Painting and sanding furniture in near freezing weather, because it reminds me that I am blessed to have a healthy capable body.
Having near freezing weather, because it reminds me of how truly mild the climate here is and how blessed we usually are.
Not having a working heater, because it reminds me of those that are truly cold.
Both of our DVD players not working, because it connects in new, non-comatose ways.
As I am typing this. I realize how truly overloaded we are with worldly possessions. It is time to separate the wants from the needs and to care for those who have unfulfilled needs.
