Challenge: 1,000 Things I'm Thankful For

Since it's November, the month of Thanksgiving and being thankful in general, a lot of my Facebook friends have been daily posting things they are thankful for.  As I was scrolling down FB today I saw that one of my friends posted about a "1,000 Things I'm Thankful For" challenge.   I was immediately interested and decided I wanted to do it myself.  At first, I thought, "Wow!  A thousand things, that's a lot!"  But then I chided myself for thinking that, because I realized God has blessed me so abundantly, with things big and small, that I could list a million things and still not come close to describing the grace He has bestowed on me.  Technically, I am going to make this a tag, so if you are a blogger (or a Facebooker or anything else, really) I am urging you to do the challenge too!

I am going to post the things in increments of 100, so here goes.  (I probably won't finish within November)  1. My Mom
