Counting 1000 gifts of thanks with Multitudes on Mondays

Touched and inspired by Ann Voskamp and her book, One Thousand Gifts, to start my own list of gifts of thanks.  May it inspire you too...to live a life of thanksgiving, and by so doing, find yourself seeing our Lord in every nook and cranny of life, living with God "in focus", tasting and seeing and hearing that the Lord, He is good......even when......yes.....even when.....

14.  our founding fathers and all who came before them to seek "the land of the free, the home of the brave".
15.  patriotic Americans, the ones who are not ashamed to believe in all our country has stood for, who believe our honorable history, who want to keep our founding principles, our Judeo-Christian heritage.
16.  for a holiday to celebrate the brave men and women who committed their "lives," "fortunes," and "sacred honor," to give us our republic.
17.  for all men and women who fought for our country, those who died and those who lived, who gave themselves to defend the cause of liberty both here and abroad.
18. for our military men and women who are today defending our nation, may God keep them and reward them.
19.  for the Holy Bible, God's Word, that teaches us God's hand in the lives of nations, reminds us to pray for our leaders, and reminds us of our responsibility to pass on to each generation all of God's activity in history, all His power and glory in our world.
20. For our ability to exercise our love for country and our God....and to pass it on....
21.  And above all, our forever thanks for the freedom from sin and death that our Savior Jesus Christ bled and died for...eternal liberty to praise and worship and give thanks to Him!
