This morning, as I was sitting on my bed taking a break between my "shoulder exercise sets", I was overwhelmed with a wave of gratitude for so many things.
"Thank YOU Lord," I began to say out loud to the world around me in general and to God specifically, "Thank YOU for blessing me with so many great things."
"Thank you for this beautiful home that YOU have given me to live in an recover in."
"Thank you for the wonderful husband that YOU have given me to help me as I recover."
"Thank you for the wonderful daughters that YOU have given me to help me with my housework and grocery shopping."
"Thank you for the kind and thoughtful church family that YOU have given me that have brought me so many delicious meals and come to visit me."
"Thank you for this wonderful view that YOU have given me to look out at each day."
"Thank you for the amazing doctor that YOU gave me."
"Thank you for the hot water that YOU gave me in the shower that I just enjoyed."
"Thank you for the desire that YOU put in my husband's heart to fix my hair in such a nice way each morning."
"Thank you for the strength that YOU are giving me to do these exercises that make me stronger each day."
"Thank YOU for everything that YOU have given to me Lord. I feel so blessed. Thank YOU so much."
Ever have days like this when you are so overwhelmed with gratitude that you just have to speak out about it? I seem to be having a lot of these days lately. God has overwhelmed me with His love and mercy lately, and I'm so thankful for everything that He has done.

Every night as I lay in bed preparing my mind for rest I thank God for sending our Savior, His Word, my husband, children, home, church, the love and friendship of my sister and many other things. This is especially important to me during the tough times, when tempted to dwell on the negative. I'm learning to be thankful in all things!
Your post was so good to read and your thankful heart is encouraging!
