I had to remind myself of all my bounty.  I was taking a shower and reflected it was not that long ago I lived fifteen years in a house without a shower so I should appreciate this house more.  And not take it for granted.

It is so easy to slip and forget all we need to thank God for.  That was just one small example.  And there are many more.  We are able to pay our bills on time.

We could feed the birds and watch a steady parade of them come to our feeders.  We have hot water when we want it.  Much of the world do not have basics that we have like plumbing.

I have to remind myself again and again to thank God for all His gifts including my wife.  Good medical care, health insurance.  And the list goes on.
