Im am thankfull

Last Sunday I made some lovely flowers for a wedding they turned out very well.

Two weeks ago whilst listening to Alid Jones on radio 2 Sunday morning show his guests were a Christian group. The poem below was aired and it really touched me and would like to share it with you. sometimes we think we have nothing and everything is against us I shall read this when I'm feeling low.

I AM THANKFUL:
For the wife Who says it's hot dogs tonight,

Because she is home with me,And not out with someone else.
For the husband Who is on the sofa Being a couch potato,

Because he is home with me And not out at the bars.
For the teenager Who is complaining about doing dishes

Because it means she is at home,Not on the streets.
For the taxes I pay Because it means I am employed.
For the mess to clean after a party

Because it means I have Been surrounded by friends.
For the clothes that fit a little too snug

Because it means I have enough to eat.
For my shadow that watches me work

Because it means I am out in the sunshine
For a lawn that needs mowing,Windows that need cleaning,

And gutters that need fixing Because it means I have a home.
For all the complaining I hear about the government

Because it means We have freedom of speech.
For the parking spot I find at the far end of the parking lot

Because it means I am capable of walking

And I have been blessed with transportation.
For my huge heating bill Because it means I am warm.
For the lady behind me in church

Who sings off key because it means I can hear.
For the pile of laundry and ironing

Because it means I have clothes to wear.
For weariness and aching muscles At the end of the day

Because it means I have been Capable of working hard.

For the alarm that goes off In the early morning hours

Because it means I am alive.
And finally, for too much e-mail

Because it means I have Friends who are thinking of me.
Live well, laugh often, & love with all of your heart!
