My Christmas List

I’ve decorated the bookstore and the house (mostly)for Christmas. It’s a ritual that I enjoy. But this morning, I realized there is a more beautiful element that I can lavish everywhere, amidst the pine branches and tiny white lights and ceramic ornaments: it’s thankfulness.
A friend of mine committed to 40 days of thankfulness. Every day he would list what he was thankful for, and choose one to meditate on, usually something he was grateful to God about.
So, this year I want my “Christmas List” to be what I am thankful for in my life. For the next two weeks, I am going to list the abundant blessings in my life.
