It is not uncommon for people during this time of year to compile wish lists at Christmas, or even draw up a list of resolutions for New Years. But there is another list we often overlook a Thanksgiving list of all for which we are thankful.

A list that several housewives compiled: They wrote that they were especially thankful:
"For automatic dishwashers because they make it possible for us to get out of the kitchen before the family comes back in for their after dinner snacks.

"For husbands who attack small repair jobs around the house because they usually make them big enough to call in the professionals.
"For children who put away their things & clean up after themselves. They’re such a joy you hate to see them go home to their own parents
"For teenagers because they give parents an opportunity to learn a second language.
"For Smoke alarms because they let you know when the turkey’s done.

Now the believers should have much more for which to be thankful than just our material possessions. We should be thankful for our salvation, our church family, & the mercy that God showers upon us each day. With Jesus we have so much for which to celebrate on Thanksgiving!
