Post by: The Scottish Ambassador on January 31, 2009, 01:07:21 PM
 
   
   
     
  I  AM THANKFUL:   FOR  THE WIFE 
WHO  SAYS IT'S HOT DOGS TONIGHT,
BECAUSE SHE IS  HOME WITH ME, AND NOT OUT WITH SOMEONE ELSE. 


FOR  THE HUSBAND 
WHO IS ON THE SOFA
BEING A COUCH POTATO, 
BECAUSE HE IS HOME WITH ME
AND NOT OUT  AT THE BARS. 


FOR  THE TEENAGER 
WHO IS COMPLAINING ABOUT DOING DISHES 
BECAUSE IT MEANS SHE IS AT HOME, NOT ON THE  STREETS. 

</ B> 
FOR  THE TAXES I PAY 
BECAUSE IT MEANS I AM EMPLOYED  . 



FOR  THE MESS TO CLEAN AFTER A PARTY 
BECAUSE  IT MEANS I HAVE BEEN SURROUNDED BY  FRIENDS.</  B>


FOR  THE CLOTHES THAT FIT A LITTLE TOO  SNUG 
BECAUSE IT MEANS I HAVE ENOUGH TO EAT. 



FOR  MY SHADOW THAT WATCHES ME  WORK 
BECAUSE IT MEANS I AM OUT IN THE  SUNSHINE 



FOR  A LAWN THAT NEEDS MOWING,
WINDOWS THAT NEED  CLEANING,
AND GUTTERS THAT NEED FIXING 
BECAUSE  IT MEANS I HAVE A HOME . 


FOR  ALL THE COMPLAINING
I HEAR ABOUT THE  GOVERNMENT
BECAUSE  IT MEANS WE HAVE FREEDOM OF  SPEECH. 


FOR  THE PARKING SPOT
I FIND AT THE FAR END OF  THE PARKING LOT
BECAUSE  IT MEANS I AM CAPABLE OF WALKING
AND I HAVE  BEEN BLESSED WITH TRANSPORTATION  . 


FOR  MY HUGE HEATING BILL 
BECAUSE IT MEANS I AM  WARM. 


FOR  THE LADY BEHIND ME IN CHURCH WHO SINGS OFF  KEY  BECAUSE  IT MEANS


  I  CAN HEAR.



FOR  THE PILE OF LAUNDRY AND IRONING 
BECAUSE  IT MEANS I HAVE CLOTHES TO  WEAR. 



FOR  WEARINESS AND ACHING MUSCLES AT THE END OF THE  DAY 
BECAUSE  IT MEANS I HAVE BEEN CAPABLE OF WORKING HARD. 



FOR  THE ALARM THAT GOES OFF
IN THE EARLY MORNING  HOURS 
BECAUSE  IT MEANS I AM ALIVE. 


AND  FINALLY, FOR SBG
BECAUSE  IT MEANS I HAVE FRIENDS WHO ARE THINKING OF  ME.

And I'm thankful for the glass being half empty because that means it's half full.   O0

Very well put Stephen.   Excellent examples.

Nice post.  This goes along the same lines. . . .



"Once, when my feet were bare, and I had not the means of obtaining shoes I came to the chief of Kufah in a state of much dejection, and saw there a man who had no feet. I returned thanks to God and acknowledged his mercies, and endured my want of shoes with patience "
Sadi, The Gulistan


The Gulistan by Sa'di
Chapter III, Story 19

Got this at a time I really needed to be reminded of the little things in life.  Blessings come in many ways.  Our Heavenly Father answers prayers, even through a bald headed Scot!  Thanks!
