Satisfy Us in the Morning

I never thought that gratitude would change my life.  When I started my list on October 5, 2009, I had no idea that it would last this long.  Or that it would be this long!  But I can't live now without thanking God for all that He has brought into my life.  I now see that those circumstances that He allows that bring grief and turmoil can be seen through thankful eyes.  There is nothing that He allows that He doesn't redeem.  Therefore, I need to thank Him.  So I continue the list...
