Last year, I tried to write a blog post about 100 of the things I’m most thankful for and when I had reached about 88, my blog post died.  I lacked enough ambition to start over, so I’m trying again this year—making sure to “Save Draft” every few minutes until I’m finished.  I’m going to preface the list with this advisory:  Anything past #4 is NOT in order and is most likely tied for 5th!

As I mentioned in this post, there are many blessings in my life and many things I love about life itself.  However, these things are only given to us to in order to survive this life—to make it bearable.  If life only consisted of evil, sin and death, not one person would be able to endure life… and honestly, who would want to?  Take a few minutes today to be thankful for all the things in life you are thankful for… no matter how minuscule.  It will certainly make you realize how blessed you truly are.

Be photographed!
