At camp over the summer, I was known for my phrase, "Be grateful." I loved it, but to be honest, I only said it to stop those kids from complaining about everything. lol. I wasn't really aware of all I had to be grateful for.
So since I've been home, Elizabeth and Mallory and I have been asking each other EVERYDAY to list 5 things that we're thankfull for. You have to say them out loud and you have to have something different each day, and you have to be specific. It really makes you realize how GOOD God is!
So here are my 5 things that I'm grateful for today:
1. A country where I can freely talk about 5 things God has blessed me with.
2. People who prove that this world is not completely lost
3. A creative God. No two people are the same, no two trees are identical.
4. A colorful world--I couldn't come up with His colors!
5. A gracious God. We don't deserve these blessings, but He gives them to us anyway.
Your turn!! What are you gratefull for?

3. I'm grateful that I love my job both when I'm working and when I'm not.
4. I'm grateful that I have wonderful friends who don't mind if I don't call them often - they know that I'm still their friend.
