Small Tokens and Big Blessings

I think every once in a while we all should take a moment to list what we are thankful for from the huge obvious blessings to the token items that sometimes go without mention.
I started this list as a small journal entry and found the more I thought about it the more and more I have to be thankful for.
So here is what I'm thankful for...in no particular order :)

"Not what we say about our blessings, but how we use them, is the true measure of our thanksgiving." W.T. Purkiser

"However many blessings we expect from God, His infinite liberality will always exceed all our wishes and our thoughts." John Calvin

"The grass is not, in fact, always greener on the other side of the fence. Fences have nothing to do with it. The grass is greenest where it is watered. When crossing over fences, carry water with you and tend the grass wherever you may be." Robert Fulghum
