We have so much to be thankful for!!!!

It is now November, the month we gather together with family and friends to enjoy the holiday of Thanksgiving. Thanksgiving is only weeks away, but shouldn't every day be a day of thanksgiving? We have so much to be thankful for... we can read our Bibles without being arrested, we have so much food that we can stuff ourselves until we're too full, we have nice houses compared to some of the world, we aren't battling cancer and wondering if we'll be able to live to see the next day, we have the opportunity to have an education, and we also have family and friends. In light of all of that, having a headache, or not getting a good night sleep, or not being able to go somewhere because of the weather seems to be just a "little" bit trivial. We take so many things for granted. We have so much compared to people that have so little. So, as Thanksgiving gets closer, let's try to keep in mind all of our blessings that we are so privileged to have. :)


      Thank you...

Matt, for wanting to fight for our country so that we can live free. :)

Kim and Arielle, for being sweet and caring sisters to me. :)

Everyone else, for accepting me into the Game Night group and for being my friends. :)

                             Thank you all so much!!! :)♥

  3. When counting your blessings be sure to do it early, cause it is going to take you all day. (or longer)
