I am thankful

The last few days we have had some pretty cold weather.  I am learning though to be thankful.  I am thankful for a classroom that is too warm.  I remember when we did not have heat.  I am thankful for good cars.  Even though last summer the car repairs we expensive it paid now when my car even started with -23 temps.  I am thankful for gears that allow me to arrive safely.

I am thankful for hard things because I will handle them better next time.  I am thankful for broken appointments because I am learning that I can spend the time wisely and maybe I was not supposed to get together with that person in the first place.

Last I am thankful for salvation.  I have an eternal hope.
