1) I'm thankful that Jesus came to earth as a tiny baby, living his perfect life and experiencing all manner of things, so that I can go to Him and know He gets me.
2) I'm thankful that Jesus called such a motley bunch of disciples to follow after Him, so that I would fit right in, no matter who I was.
3) I'm thankful that Jesus taught truth everywhere He went, so that in an age of relative truth, I have a something solid to believe in.
4) I'm thankful that Jesus challenged the Pharisees on their hypocrisy, so that when I'm tempted to judge others, I can recognize their legacy in my life and turn from it.
5) I'm thankful that Jesus lived out his 33 years in full view of all, so that I know how I should live my life and know it's possible, because my Savior did it.
6) I'm thankful that Jesus prayed to His Father for everything, so that I know the importance of communication with my Father.
7) I'm thankful that Jesus put Himself under His Father's authority, so that I know the importance of being under God's authority and to not go my own way.
8) I'm thankful that Jesus was willing to suffer and die a horrid, bloody death, taking my place at Calvary, so that once I believed, I was assured Heaven with Him.
9) I'm thankful that Jesus rose from the dead, so that I can have assurance that He is able, and that He will do all He says He will do.
10) I'm thankful that both of my parents know the same Jesus that I know, and that I will be with them and Him forever.

I am thankful right along with you that Jesus died, rose and is preparing a room for us :)...I so agree with you on the disciples. It is good to know that I don't need to be perfect and God can still use be despite all my flaws.

Blessings on your weekend and always.
