A Thankful Heart Is....

What is a Thankful Heart? Is it a heart that is thankful in all circumstances? No matter what? Or am I thinking of a joyful heart? Are they the same or are they different? What Am I thankful For? I've taken a few moments today and yesterday to think about that, as I've needed to. I wouldn't have made it through the day otherwise.
When my co-workers were pushing on my last nerve, testing me in fruits of the spirit, rather than what Round Table calls "Leading Non Peak and Peak Periods" or the "Essentials," I was ready to blow a gasket. Thank you God for some of the tasks I must complete before I walk out of the door. Without them, well, I should have explained myself when reproached with my slowness, but often times, I cannot think of an answer at the time. Especially when the phone won't stop ringing. Whatever I gave up the task at hand for, it was probably priorities, and that at the moment that task was not the most important. I knew I had to do it, and I was going to get back to it, but I didn't have time to because it was finished up for me, so with that I say Thank you God for a busy Thanksgiving Eve. What am I thankful for? Well, as an accumulated list....with nothing in any order (and yes, I realize that I repeated a couple of items...)
