Have you heard the saying, what if you woke up this morning with only those things you thanked God for before you went to sleep last night?  I think someone on OH here has that as their signature line but I can't remember who.  I've been thinking about that the last few days, though.  If that happened to me, there are so many days I would wake up with nothing.  Or close to nothing.

If it happened to you, what would you have woken up to this morning?

I would have my cats and my partner, but I would be sitting on the floor because I would not have my couch and I would be naked because I would not have clothes and I would not be sipping this lovely protein shake and I would be cold because there would be no heat in my house.

Kelly,

I read this a few weeks back and it really hit me hard.  Where do I begin ... I am so very thankful and grateful!

I would definitely wake up with His peace in my spirit.  I would have a lot of the "things" I have now.  I would still have my WLS ... and I would still be dropping the pounds at His pace.  I can't even begin to tell you how very thankful I am for the things that I have.

Let me share with you what I heard this morning ...

   "Have you ever been taken for granted? Imagine how God feels!"

Being taken for granted is defiitely not a good feeling.

I see no one has responded ... hopefully this is food for thought for everyone ... and just imagine, it has NO calories:)

Happy Thanksgiving Kelly to you and yours ...

I thank God every night for everything he's done for my family and I and for all of the blessings in our lives.  I don't know where I'd be without God in my life...nor would I ever want to know.

 yes i have seen this and i think of it often too.  Its a good thought..we have sooo much to be thankful for and we take it all for granted.  so for today i am thankful for everyone involved with me in my life, for my material goods i own, and for the friends i have met on here and in real life.

Kelly, I am Thankful for my life! my family and all of his provisions. I just got out of the hospital the other day, I was hospitalized for a few days from having pneumonia, it had gotten in to my blood stream. I honestly felt like I was going to die! I am grateful I didn't
