The Things I'm Grateful For





In January, Mom encouraged me to keep a daily gratitude notebook.  Each morning when I read my Bible I write three things I'm grateful for in a notebook.  I number each one and write the date next to them; now I have over 500.

Here are the top 20 things I'm grateful for:
  1. My Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and His everlasting love
  2. The Word of God
  3. My loving family 
  4. My friends
  5. My home
  6. All the beauty of nature God created for us to enjoy
  7. Music (hymns especially)
  8. God's bountiful provision of food and clothing
  9. The freedom to worship God as He commands
  10. The decision of my parents to homeschool us and the freedom to do so
  11. Health
  12. Our five senses
  13. Our dog Ginger
  14. Piano
  15. Books
  16. Electricity
  17. Audiobooks
  18. Modern technology
  19. The seasons
  20. All the many blessings God showers upon us
