Okay so those are some everyday things I am thankful for, very casual things. 

And now, here some more meaningful things that I am grateful for.

I am thankful for music. There is a song for just about anything. 

I am thankful for nature, our everyday evidence that God is near. 

I am thankful for God’s amazing grace and love. He gives me undeserving grace and love, yet I fail Him everyday. We have an amazing God, folks.

Yes, you.

I may not even know you, but I am so thankful for you! 

Your life has so much purpose and worth and potential, and don’t ever forget that. You are beautiful and smart and talented and loved, more than you could every know. I am thankful for your life and I am thankful for you.

And whatever you do, in word or deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.
