Thankful

Yesterday I was at a friend's house and when we were about to leave, we stopped to pray. Her 4year old son started us off. He started listing ALL his toys and thanking God for each one, plus anything in sight like his dad's basketball. The prayer ended up in Christmas references and what sounded like random stories... we cut him off about then :-) But honestly, it stayed with me.
"Count your blessings..."

Today I took a walk with another friend around our hood aka suburb. Sitting down now, I realise the blessing of just living in this particular area. I am thankful that our church is walking distance from our home. So is the supermarket and a cheapish grocery store and a butcher (who even sells liver!!!!)... and an Indian shop that sells millet flour. All these are within walking distance from our home. I haven't yet even mentioned the second hand shops around!! Thank you Lord for looking out for us in such little ways. Thank You. I don't thank You enough. Thank you.
