Psalms 106:1 ''Give thanks to the Lord, for He is good. His love endures forever.'' Psalm 100:1-5 ''Make a joyful shout to the Lord all you lands. Serve the Lord with gladness.

Here is a list that several housewives compiled.
They wrote that that were especially thankful for:

For husbands who attack small repair jobs around the house because they usually make them big enough to call in the professionals.
For children who put away their things and clean up after themselves. They're such a joy you hate to see them go home to their parents.
For teenagers because they give parents an opportunity to learn a second language.
For smoke alarms because they let you know when the turkey is done.
Now our list might not be the same as theirs but I am convinced that if we began to make a list, we would find that we have much more for ...
