I have seen many thankfulness challenges around Thanksgiving time.  I haven’t formally participated in the past, but I want to this year.  It is my goal to post something for which I am thankful each day this week.  When I take time to “Count My Blessings”, I find how many I really have. Writing gives me a record of thankfulness.

The first blessing is easy.  I am thankful that Jesus Christ died for my sins and rose again so I could know Him (1 Corinthians 15:3-4).  I was blessed to grow up in a home where I was taught about my need for Jesus.  As a child I placed my trust in Christ to save me from my sins (Romans 10:9-10). I am so thankful God made that possible for me.
