At our CBC Ladies’ Bible Study meeting last Thursday night, Jen encouraged each of us to make a list of 100 things we’re thankful for and then to pray that list back to God. Last night I sat down and made my list. It took some real work!

While I could have just written down everything I saw in the room around me, I wanted to be a bit more thoughtful about it. Here are just a few things I’m thankful for this Thanksgiving season:

• God’s sufficient grace
• Jesus’ advocacy for me
• The Holy Spirit’s intercession for me
• Psalms
• Stephen’s unconditional love
• Silas’s “I want you”s
• Cooper’s hugs
• Mankas
• Moodys
• Friends who love my sons
• Hand-me-downs
• Grass
• Pictures & videos
• Coffee
• Books
• Vacations
• Travel
• Weather
• Hope
• Truth

I haven’t yet prayed through my entire list, but I’m looking forward to thanking God for His good gifts to me.
