grateful

I am working on being grateful this lent...not whining about the things I can have or don't have but being truly thankful for what I have.  I want to make sure that I don't just blather on and on about the things I am grateful for everyday.  I thank God for those things everyday.  I want to be thanking God for the things I don't usually think about.   I am going to start with my shoes.  I have more than one pair of shoes and I am very blessed.  I don't always feel blessed when I'm standing in front of my closet trying to decide which pair of shoes to wear.  I also have a pair of shoes....that puts me way ahead of most of the third world countries.   So today I am grateful for my shoes.
