Thanksgiving I

Iam thankful for so many things. I am thankful for my car so I can hurry from place to place and get more tasks done. Jesus had to walk and go more slowly through life. I am thankful for my corner office so I can get more accomplished without interruption. Jesus worked out in the open and people with problems came to him from everywhere. I am thankful for my four bedroom house in the suburbs so I can have my space. Jesus lived in a house with 12 disciples and Peter's extended family and had to learn life in community. I am thankful for my Ipod so I can fill my time with entertainment. Jesus had to live with more silence and pay attention to the thoughts in his head. I am thankful for all my Bibles at home and the office so I can always find God's Word. Jesus had no copy of the Bible; he had to memorize it and carry it in His heart . It seems that the things I value may actually serve to keep me from being like Jesus. Maybe I will make a new list for Thanksgiving.
