For His lovingkindness is everlasting.

O give thanks to the Lord, for He is good; For His lovingkindness is everlasting.
1 Chronicles 16:34


Often I see thanks giving connected to God's lovingkindness or His goodness. Like in 1 Chronicles but again I see it five times in Psalm 107: "Let them give thanks to the Lord for His lovingkindness, And for His wonders to the sons of men!"
So seeing as it was just Thanksgiving I figured it was about time I start publicly giving thanks because "I will give thanks to You, O Lord, among the peoples; I will sing praises to You among the nations." -Psalm 57:9


I work well with lists sometimes.


Hot Water-
I'm thankful for this for many reasons.
 -First, not many people actually get water to endlessly pour over their heads, even fewer get to pick the sort of temperature they want it to be.
 -Second, back in Slovakia I could make breakfast while waiting for the water to heat up and sometimes I would wait through Christmas and New years before realizing that the heater was out of hot water. (Slight exaggeration may have been applied.) Suffice to say, I liked stepping into my hot shower this morning.


School
-As tiring and annoying as it can be, I'm so thankful for being at Blinn and being a lantern for the Lord on that campus.
-Education is fun.
-Professors are funny.


Winning Tickets to the final Lone Star Showdown
-Even if we did lose, it was awesome to be there and the fact that I won sweeps steaks to get there was crazy.
-Being able to take MaryGrace, my sister.


Food
-Sometimes less common than you may realize.
-Sometimes more delicious than you'd expect.
-Thanksgiving meal.


Music
-I feel like if all music stopped the world would simply just stop turning.
-$100 iTunes gift card from Apple. = well over 100 songs and 6 hours of music gained in one night.
-A close second to the Holy Spirit for connecting people.


A Car
-Even when it's totaled it gets me around. Here's to Harvey Dent!
-Complete coverage from State Farm. What a good neighbor.


The Word
-Even though I haven't been in it enough this semester at all, it's my passion and motivation.


Family
-Always loving, always forgiving. This is not a common happening and I praise God for that.


Friends
-I'm always surprised at my friends for how accepting and interested in me they are.
-Randomly going to Galveston with Nate to hanging out with the Veronies at the beach. I don't think any really realized how much good that did my soul. I loved it.


The Rain
-I woke up this morning to the sound of the rain. After this summer of praying for rain and still now for the sake of camp next summer, it was a great song of praise on my rooftop.


The Coming of Our Lord in Glory
-What keeps me going.
-Come, Lord Jesus, Come.


Merlin
-Because a new episode is coming out today and that's way exciting!
