Multitude Monday

One of my favorite bloggers, Ann Voskamp, writes a list of things she's thankful for every Monday.

Today I am most thankful for Water.  The following quotes taken from http://water.org/

• Nearly one billion lack access to safe water.
• In remote areas of Africa women travel miles each day to collect water for their families. It's dangerous and debilitating.
• Haiti cholera outbreak highlights clean water crisis

 I’m thankful I was able to use water for the following things today and yesterday:

• I drank 48oz of water per day
• I used water to take a shower
• I used water to make tea
• I used water to give my children bathes
• I used water to flush the toilet
• I used water to boil sweet potatoes
• I used water to cook frozen corn
• I gave my daughter water to drink

 How did my family and I get blessed with so much free clean water?  Why don’t I thank God every day for this gift?  I really want to be more thankful for such an amazing and life sustaining gift.

Here is my growing list:

54.  Water

55.  Pumpkin cream cheese muffins in the fall

56.  60 degree weather in South Florida

57.  Health insurance coverage for my entire family

58.  Pumpkin Chocolate Cake

59.  A budget to make wonderful homemade desserts

60.  A church that constantly reminds me to give of my time and talents
