I started writing today's thankfulness list, but the intro took on a life of it's own and became a brand new post after I realized that no one wants to read four paragraphs before they see "
This week I'm thankful for". So while that became a work-in-progress, I'm back here to share the ten things that I'm giving thanks for this week, and to encourage you to spend some time today (and every day) creating a gratitude list. Not only does it help with the gimme-gotchas, it's amazing to go back and see what God has done, especially on those days when nothing seems to be going right. Grab a sheet of paper and a pen ... go ahead, I'll wait ... {

Good. Write down one thing you are thankful for right now, rinse and repeat tomorrow.
You can thank me later.
This week I'm thankful for ...
871. Connections
872. A reprieve for a friend
873. The life of George Müller (i.e. the intro-turned-post)
875. Peter's last day to wear polyester (he starts his new job on Monday)
876. Free Chick-fil-A chicken sandwiches
877. A whole week-end filled with hot tea, time with Peter, open windows, and stacks of books
878. The Hope that I have every day because of my relationship with Christ
879. The customers who like me - I'll miss them
880. Winning a gift card from Dunkin' Donuts for Tweeting about their #99CentIcedTea on Tuesday
