Following the 2008 elections, I decided to write a series of 20 posts of more lasting value, titled “What I’m Thankful For”. They received such a favorable response, that I decided to post a page with permanent links to the series. Here they are, in order of their release and not necessarily of importance:
#1. The Legacy of My Grandparents
#2. Freedom of Worship
#3. Modern Medicine
#4. Spiritual Mentors
#5. The Sacrifices of Our Nation’s Many Heroes
#6. A Great God Who Gives (Many) Second Chances
#7. The Lovely Mrs. Virtus
#8. A Liberal Arts College Education
#9. Even the Surprises God Sends My Way
#10. The Undeniable Beauty of God’s Creation
#11. Loyal Friends Over Long Distances
#12. Daily Bread
#13. Thoughtful Surprises
#14. Blessings (and Responsibilities) of Children
#15. Cinnamon
#16. Faith of the Martyrs and Divine Peace
#17. The Grandest Music and Musical Genius
#18. My Parents Decided to Keep Me
#19. Baseball and the Legendary Ernie Harwell
#20. Vision
The list is not exhaustive, but substantial. It’s a good exercise. If you ever can make time to do something similar, I highly recommend it.
