Thought for the Day 6/20/2025 ~ Friday Tale

 Friday Tale ~ I am Thankful

* for the spouse who says it's hot dogs tonight because she/he is home with me, not with someone else.

 * For the teenager who is complaining about doing dishes, because that means she is at home, not on the streets.

* For the taxes that I pay, because it means that I am employed.

* For the mess to clean after a party, because it means that I have been surrounded by friends.

* For the clothes that fit a little too snug, for it means I have enough to eat.

* For my shadow that watches me work, because it means I am out in the sunshine.

* For a lawn that needs mowing, windows that need cleaning, and gutters that need fixing, because it means I have a home.

* For all the complaining I hear about the government, because it means that we have freedom of speech.

* For the parking spot I find at the far end of the parking lot, because it means I am capable of walking and that I have been blessed with transportation.

* For my huge heating bill, because it means I am warm.

* For the lady near me in church that sings off key, because it means that I can hear.

* For the pile of laundry and ironing, because it means I have clothes to wear.

* For weariness and aching muscles at the end of the day, because it means I have been capable of working hard.

* For the alarm that goes off in the early morning hours, because it means that I am alive. and finally.......

* For all the many emails, texts and calls, because it means I have friends who are thinking of me.
