Our Wednesday night class listed several things for which we are thankful. The class decided to only list the “little things” in daily life that we tend to take for granted. I’ve included most of the list here as a guide. I hope it will help motivate you to thankfulness! If there’s something you’d like to add, would you add a comment to this post?
