Jesus is faithful when I am not, His grace is sufficient, my Parents, my Grandparents, my extended family, friends that are like family, coffee, used book stores, the smiles and laughter from each of the kids I work with, the fact that watching a child learn something new/be able to do something after weeks of therapy is the most rewarding thing, teaching Sunday school, the honesty of a child, painting, free time to paint/write, the fresh smell of the grass after rain, beautiful puget sound, travelling, alki beach, autumn leaves, a car that works, the hearing I have left, the technology that enables me to hear, a job I love, the colors, the diversity of nature, a good education, community, and so much more.
Some of my Favorite quotes about thankfulness:
When we were children we were grateful to those who filled our stockings at Christmas time. Why are we not grateful to God for filling our stockings with legs? ~G.K. Chesterton
You say grace before meals. All right. But I say grace before the concert and the opera, and grace before the play and pantomime, and grace before I open a book, and grace before sketching, painting, swimming, fencing, boxing, walking, playing, dancing and grace before I dip the pen in the ink. ~G.K. Chesterton
If a fellow isn't thankful for what he's got, he isn't likely to be thankful for what he's going to get. ~Frank A. Clark
We often take for granted the very things that most deserve our gratitude. ~Cynthia Ozick
“I thank God for my handicaps, for, through them, I have found myself, my work, and my God” Helen Keller | |

The Pilgrims came to America not to accumulate riches but to worship God, and
the greatest wealth they left unborn generations was their heroic example of
sacrifice that their souls might be free.--Harry Moyle Tippett
