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
