Love. I am thankful for love. There are many types of love. This Thankful Thursday I am thankful for the love of my family. Love isn’t always neat or easy, especially family love.

Let me be totally transparent. My family is far from perfect. I am not the perfect parent and my children are not perfect either. But we do love each other, faults and all. My family love is just one of many things I am grateful to have in my life.

For what are you thankful? If I asked you to make a list of 100 things you are grateful for, would it be a hard task? How about 25? 10? 5? If you struggle to make a list, I encourage you to Google “things to be grateful for.” We each have so many blessings. We rush through our days and miss many of those blessings.

Take a few minutes this morning and make a gratitude list. Start with love. List all the things that exemplify love in your life. Think big things and small. Starting your day with gratitude will affect the rest of your day in a positive way!
