Thankful

Are we ever thankful enough, do we ever get to a place that we are content and happy with exactly what we have? As humans I think we fight the flesh and never get to a place of contentment, just as Adam and Eve we to are never happy with all that the Lord has blessed us with. We only focus on the things we don't have, over looking the abundant blessings that fill our lives.
I am blessed beyond measure and I know I am guilty of taking it for granted. Yes, I thank Him daily for what He has given me, but often I am holding out my hand for more before I have even enjoyed the blessings I already have. Like a spoiled child I throw all my blessing to the side and ask "so what's next?". Lord, forgive me for being so selfish and ungrateful.
Lord, I want to thank you for all the blessings you have bestowed upon me. For reaching out to me in my darkest hour and saving my soul. For saving my life and keeping me out of a devils hell. This is so much more then I ever deserved and I am so thankful that you chose me. Looking back on those dark times in my life I realize that even then you were watching over me and protecting me, and for that I am very grateful. I want to thank you for second chances and for new starts. Thanks so much for restoring my broken life and making all things new.
Thank you for the wonderful man you have sent into my life to be my husband. He is such a good man and has a heart of love and kindness that I had never known in my life. He takes good care of me and loves me unconditionally. He is my strength and security in the darkest of nights. He is the extension of your love from Heaven to me here on earth. He is more then I could have ever dreamed of and so much more. Help me Lord never to take him for granted.
Thank you for all the things you have added to our lives, our family, friends, financial security and the peace and joy that comes from having you at the center of it all. You have blessed us with your presence in our life and have shown us that life can be more then just a journey to endure, that it can be a joyful adventure with peace and love that is more priceless then anything else this world has to offer.
Lord, help us all to be thankful and content in you. Help us to see more clearly what blessing we have that we might not take them for granted.
