At Thanksgiving Pastor Mark was talking about being grateful. Of course that's what we usually do at Thanksgiving. When I got home from church I sat at my computer and started making a list of what I was grateful for. It has taken a while to compile this list. Keep in mind that it is in no particular order. Well, except #1.
