Give Thanks for the "not-so-obvious"

I have so many things to be thankful for...

The obvious... and the Not-so-obvious!

Sometimes we have to dig deep for the Not-so-obvious, and then it's like an "Ah-ha moment".

Some times the Not-so-obvious are harder to be thankful for, but I am, it just doesn't really occur to me until I really think about it... sometimes it's being aware of the alternative.

This morning I find myself thinking about the Not-so-obvious things I am thankful for ...

~ Never had a car accident

~ Never had a serious health concern

~ Free to go about my day without having to look over my shoulder

~ Free time... to spend however I want

~Our Carson (with Type 1 Diabetes) is happy, strong, healthy.

 Despite this horrible disease, I will be thankful for all that Carson is,

 despite the struggles his body will always face. He is not defined by diabetes....he's amazing!

~ A Job that I love (almost) everything about.

~ Getting to help aging parents, which lately has been often

~ Thankful that we still have all 4 parents, all in their 80's

~ All 3 children (4 grandkids) live in Minnesota (2 in Rochester)

~ Contentment... I'm thankful for what I have

~ A new perspective on aging (learning a lot while helping with our parents)

Have you thought about the Not-so-obvious things you are thankful for?

Oh give thanks to the LORD, for He is good, 

His steadfast love endures forever

psalm 107:1
