Thankful Thursday

Every Thursday I share something I'm thankful for.  It's so easy in our day to day routines and problems to forget we have things to be thankful for.

As the temperature and the heat index reach into the triple digits, I'm thankful for air conditioning!  But I'm even more thankful for the men and women who are serving in regions where the temperature reaches as high as 130 degrees.  I can't imagine how difficult that is to cope with on top of everything else.

So the next time you are tempted to complain about the heat while sitting in an air conditioned room, remember our troops and all they endure for us!
     
What are you thankful for today?
