Ok, I haven't done this in awhile.  I am posting because of a conversation I had with Alan tonight about my class based on Bill Johnson's book, Strengthen Yourself in the Lord.

We were discussing the chapter on thankfulness tonight.  Being thankful is one of the tools Pastor Bill lists as a way to strengthen yourself.  As I was preparing for tonight's class, the Lord gave me these thoughts about our lives, so I write them here for you.
