We always have something to be thankful for! I love this quote: If you can't be thankful for what you receive, be thankful for what you escape. ~unknown
Just yesterday as I was driving through a construction zone, I almost got rear ended when I stopped at a light. The person behind must not have seen the light change. When the driver suddenly realized I was stopped for the red light, he slammed on his brakes and started turning his wheel into the construction zone to avoid hitting me. Thankfully, I saw this in my rear view mirror so I let up on the brake and tried to give him more room to stop without moving into oncoming traffic. That was close! I was so thankful that an accident was averted and I could go along my way without any problems, delays, or injury. I believe there are many times we escape problems or accidents without even knowing it. It is good for us to remember to not only be thankful for all our blessings and for the good things in life, but we can also be thankful for what we escape! We can be thankful for God's grace!
